Car is running well, but stupid thing is still leaking a ton of oil. It's down a quart from Friday already with two trips to Shakopee and back. Oil is cheap, but this thing is going through it as fast as gas. Have I mentioned how much I hate oil leaks? What a PITA.
Geez Michael you are having some bad luck with oil leaks. You should buy stock in the oil companies!

Good Troy. We were actually just southwest of Chicago in a suburb called Bolingbrook. We just hung out and chatted for the most part. It was nice and super relaxing.

Sounds like indoor camping to me Jay. Speaking of which, is it time to camp yet? I am ready and the snow is melting. hahaha.

Well Mason has conferences tonight. So we will see how good he is in school.

Hi Troy.

So do I. Not sure where to start looking either. The whole fuel bowl was rebuilt this summer. Only thing not replaced was the drain valve assembly which could be the culprit. Can't see it leaking while it is running but there is fuel in the valley.

Yes Mike, that is it. The dang ULSD dried up your o-rings. I bought a kit and replaced mine a year or two ago. I can find the link.

Mason got a GREAT report. He is at the top of his class. He needs to be challenged so the teacher is sending him out of the class to test his reading. She said he needs to be challenged which is a relief. I am hoping this trend continues. I wonder where he got his brains from, could not have been me. Must have been the mailman. LOL!

Hey Mike! Sounds like you are gonna have to clean everything up and then check to see where it is leaking from. Good luck!

Hey Cory! Glad to hear you got a good report back. If it wasn't the mailman there is always that pesky milkman! LOL

Evening all!

Well I decided I've had enough with the Explorer. Found a good deal on an '06 Expedition Limited with 70k on it. Loaded with all the "wife required" options. So gonna pick that up tomorrow. They gave me a decent trade in value, but if anyone wants to buy one, let me know asap! $5,000...
