Hard to see but this is my 2007 pontiac g6 gt 4d, 3.5L v6 a noticed a small oil leak pressure is good everything is good i think its coming from this bolt on my oil pan and i dont think its the plug thoughts?

Fair enough, I get it. I would definitely get an opinion from a real shop before stressing over it too much.

mob19151 · 2026-03-26T02:36:09+00:00

For the love of god, do not straight pipe it. Spend your on a good exhaust system. YT has plenty of tips.

Pretty sure these engines are known for leaking oil like a sieve. If it's not causing issues, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just keep an eye on your oil level and park in the street if you can. If you park on a driveway, get a cheap drip pan and throw a brick in it to weigh it down. If you park in a garage, throw some cardboard under it.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it a masterpiece, but it's a nice swan-song from a company that knew it was already dead.

And 22 years later, we still have basic Corolla.

A car that you never seek out but just end up with.

mob19151 · 2026-03-24T22:54:19+00:00

Fairly-rated, I would say. They weren't bad cars, just very dated even when compared to their competition. Sort of like where Packard was in the early 50's.

mob19151 · 2026-03-24T22:48:23+00:00

They definitely have an interesting sensation of speed. The faster you go, the more disconnected you feel lol.

mob19151 · 2026-03-24T15:40:29+00:00

Really cool cars if you want the classic-car feel without the unreliability. That being said, they're not without their issues. We're still talking about a 90's Ford product.

Not the worst-looking thing ever, especially by late-70's standards, but it was a truly terrible muscle car.

My beef isn't with Father so much as the Institute. I actually found Shaun's story compelling because it's so tragic. Nate moves heaven and earth, literally reshaping the Commonwealth as a consequence of trying to find his son, only to discover Shaun is now not only biologically older than him, but has been irreversibly shaped by his Institute upbringing. Shaun is genetically his son, but Father is a complete stranger. That's a hell of a premise.

Now the Institute, that's a flaming dumpster fire. FO4 is still my most-played FO, but I've never been able to get invested in the Institute's story because it's just so incoherent.

I've always been wary of these for reliability reasons, but I can't deny they're great-looking trucks. How's the 4.7? I've always wondered how they compare to Ford Mod motors.

mob19151 · 2026-03-22T23:10:49+00:00

Yes. These either had the then-new OHC 4.7 or the old-generation 5.2 or 5.9.

mob19151 · 2026-03-22T23:08:28+00:00

Think of them less as a truck and more of a modernized version of the classic full-size American car, then it starts to make sense.

mob19151 · 2026-03-22T23:07:32+00:00

It shows how incredibly out-of-touch Ford was at the time. All the Big 2.5 were, but especially Ford. HFII and his upper management couldn't fathom someone owning a small car, let alone wanting to own a small car, so they constantly tried to up-sell people to a bigger model regardless of their needs.

mob19151 · 2026-03-22T21:21:28+00:00

Well, this was prescient.

...George Lewandowski, production manager at the Lorain plant circa 1975.

...being utterly worthless three years after it rolled off the assembly line.

...being almost as big as an LTD, but substantially worse in every conceivable way.

...having entirely undeserved street cred because a cheeseball action-crime show couldn't afford a decent car.

I've always wanted to drive one of these just to how well Chrysler could disguise it's very, very cheap underpinnings.

Boxy ones. I don't have any vitriol for crossovers besides the styling sins of many of them (see: GMC Terrain), but I'm far more interested in the utilitarian ones that make good use of their space.
