Found something interesting over the weekend on my 84GL leaker.  Seems that
ever since I got the rebuilt engine, I have been getting a small puddle of
fluid on top of the engine just under the hole that goes to the clutch
housing (big hole about 1.5 inch diameter on top passenger side next to
clutch housing).  Using a snake light to see down inside things, I found
that the back flang on the intake sir distributor was bent up and never
attached to the stud that it is supposed to be mounted to.  It also appears
that there is no nut on this stud.  The stud in question appears to be one
of the studs that is used for holding the half body parts together.  1)  Am
I correct in my assumption about this stud?
2)  Could this be the problem leading to the small fluid puddle on top of
the engine?
3)  How would this affect the operation of the fuel injection system?
4)  What impact will it have on the engine?
Basically the engine has been this way for over 86000 miles.  Does seem to
be fluid leaking into the clutch housing but that was attributed to
something else at the time.  Could be related.
