Yeah, my pops was telling me about that... At any rate, he did do a cranking compression check. He is in the process of replacing the seals now so we'll see if that is the fix.
The car did sit for about 3-6 months without really being driven; that can make the seals go bad. I should find out tomorrow what the deal is.
