Chances will be better on getting some assistance if you take a picture of where the leak is coming from. It may just the front main seal. If the motor is high mileage, i'd recommend running a can of Seafoam through it, then change the plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

I cant get any pics right now, its in the body shop, but the body guy took a look and says its above the crank so im guessing its the front main seal, also I wanted to do the rear 5 lug conversion but do I just need to buy the 5 lug hub? or more parts needs? thanks

ok, first i was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but seriously, Zilvia has a wealth of knowledge. Any question that you can ask, nissan related, has been asked before.

Spend a little time reading through the tech forums. Familiarize yourself with your car. There is no lack of answers on this site.

Good luck!
