Kind of a weekend rollup:

-Pulled starter and will hopefully replace with a new one later today as long as part store didn't mess up again

-Cleaned up a mess under my oil pan and front diff; appeared to be blowback from a past leak so there was oil and gunk all under there so sprayed it all with brake cleaner and wiped down. Will also help me see if there's a new leak currently or in the future. While I was under there I checked all connection points where a leak could occur and found no traces then talked to previous owner and he confirmed he had 2 leaks after engine was built where a couple of things weren't tightened down fully but were fixed immediately. Residue was probably from those leaks, so I hope. I've never had any spots under the car on the pavement and I park in the same spot at my apartment so I can always monitor so I think it's just residual from the past leaks.

I used Mothers powerball 4 lights. 26 bucks at autozone. It's comes with everything from the sand paper to the polish. It worked great for me

From last night but put in new starter and a new rear o2 sensor. Good to be reading accurate AFR and so far car is like 10/10 on cranks so fingers crossed that it keeps cranking.
