Subject: got my car!! a few q's...

Body:
got my car!! a few q's...

So I picked up the car this weekend(!!!) VERY happy, everything seems
well with her; drove a total of 6 hrs. back to NY with no problems,
except one meachanical one - the rear main seal appears to be leaky,
and the oil pressure gauge always reads between the "A" or just below
the bottom white line - I remember I had this problem at one point on
my last Mustang, but I can't remember how I fixed it - any ideas,
andcould the rear main seal be the culprit?
Secondly, I occasionally smell fuel inside the car with the top up-
is this because it's a vert, or is there an underlying problem - mind
you, I got 22 mpg on the highway. I did notice one of the fuel
injectors and the area around it was wet, but I don't recall it
smelling like fuel, I'll have to double check.
And lastly, the motor that pulls the top shut in back is missing (who
has it- no one knows...) I might have a source that can get one for
$100, does anyone know of anything cheaper? And on the same note,
once the motor is in and functional, will the whole top fit SNUGLY on
the body (i.e., "seal")? Right now if you look from the inside
there's a space all the way around the edge - is that just the way
it's supposed to be?
Thanks for any and all the help guys - I really appreciate it, and
I'm incredibly proud to be part of the mcClaren family-
I've had people pull up to me at red lights and inspect5 the whole
car and give me a nod, smile , and a thumbs up, I've had cops pull up
next to me when I was double parked while I went in the store just to
tell me I had a "phat whip" and just take off, and I've seen people
stop in parking lots and just stare at it... and I've had it less
than 48 hours... it feels great, lemme tell you....
Again, thanks for the help-
Jeremy
