Hi all,

I wrote earlier that I had an oil leak coming from my oil pressure relief valve, which is still present and I am going to replace the washer and see if that stops it.  Thanks to all who responded.  I also discovered, however, that I have a leak coming the end of one of my pushrods.  Its the same one that is dented where someone evidently tried to ram a socket in to undo the drain plug.  I think the dent managed to pull out or shorten the pushrod enough to cause a small leak.  Or possibly it just unseated the pushrod...?  I have no experience with pushrods and I am wondering if I have to drain the oil before I take the dented one out?  Same with the oil pressure relief valve.  Also, any recommendations for a novice on the type of pushrod to purchase?  I found the spring ones and just plain ones, but not sure which is best.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks!
Marla
