Turns out my fuel pump is busted and I can see gas sitting/dripping around the diaphragm. I am going to replace it this weekend with whatever I can get as a quick fix. However I am concerned now as to if that was leaking into the crankcase and oil and if this is an immediate concern as I just...
Absolutely going to do that tomorrow. I live in Bakersfield so its just now reaching 100 degrees so it makes sense as to why I am having this issue now. But yea I will see if the pins fix it!

Exactly. If I took the payout I would definitely do this. However I worry about salvaging the title and higher insurance costs etc afterwards. Probably wouldn’t be worth to daily drive it anymore.
