I would do the rear main and pull the sump to check the pickup, why not its out easy to do and cheap . At keast you will know thats all good.

Clean the intake and if you ever want a cam do it while its out.

I think rear main seal is a bit more than to explain over the forums haha. Look it up i'm sure someone has written one up on an ecotec.
