Study the pic... Your 914 will only leak oil once a month!

OK...I must fess-up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) When I was a stuggling college student I had a 911 that had this anoying oil leak. Being a bit mechanically challenged and poor I came-up with a $5 solution that worked.
Sorry no pics, but... I took a small flask about 6" long and 1" thick and installed a flip valve instead of the screw cap. I then put a dent on one of the flat sides with a hole in the middle. The flash was then mounted in under the car in just the right spot... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Because my oil leak was real consistent where it dripped, the flash would collect the oil drippings and about once a month I just opened the valve and drained the flask. Worked pretty darn good-my 911 no longer left little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) wherever I went. The flask was my little secret, and if someone did look under the car it looked like some type of performance gadget bolt-on...too funny. Now I'm an older fart, and I don't care what other people think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) |
