Yahbut if you fix it, then you won't be able to tell at a glance on the driveway if it's got oil in it....

'Morning, Bill, and everyone. Great time at The Tilted Kilt yesterday--meeting Lizzie and others, and seeing you guys again.

And it only took me a little over an hour to go the 30 miles home through afternoon traffic and a closed section of Loop 101....

Joe, that bites! did you take the long way home? i got home at 8 pm. and in the headlights of cars and trucks that past me i could see the smoke trail from oil leaking out of the valve cover gasket onto the header, there and back i was a quart down.... i changed oil and gaskets and plumbed the PCV valve to the manifold
checked everything after a few mile cruze and no more leak.

which reminds me... i need to do something about my headlights! they are dim.

Good Night all.

and I wasn't using the GPS, so my Ford-Sirius real-time traffic reporting wasn't active either. My bad.

Sounds like you could have used the truck for mosquito abatement.

Is that maybe where the water got in from the pressure washing? Glad you got it fixed.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
