In essence, the law isn't much different than it was. The exception being the 25 year rule as opposed to 20. Occasional transportation is fine, just not an every day driver. The biggest change is that they made a separate category for vehicles over 10,000 lbs. The biggest worry I have is just...

Bet of luck on your new project! Keep us posted.
The leak next to the IP could be from the head, or the compressor. My compressor bolts were not very tight when I got my truck and it came out through the same area. With the tranny drip, I get one just like it and I think it's coming from the back of the oil pan. It never really seems to drip...
