Check the oil pan seal.. Mine leaked a little bit on the front side of the motor (facing the radiator)

If a Hatch is Bread van, then what is a Wagon? A bread bus?

that, and check the rear main seal, also check the crankshaft seal, all really depends on where the majority of the leak is coming from

Start at the car wash with a couple of cans of engine brite and get all the old oil off the motor and get it dry...then start looking for fresh oil.

Okay, got it running. Was going to take it to clean it, when I realized it has no brakes. It has brake Fluid and the E-BRAKE works. Any suggestions? Also could you guys tell or show me a pic, where the seals are, I am a rook.
Thanks,
Scott

Haynes, Chiltons and online service manuals all have diagrams that have the gasket and exploded location diagrams. Not hard to find.

The entire tool selection at Sears or the contents of a Snap-On truck will do you no good if you do not know how to use them.
