Wow. Took my car out all week on small trips around town and it drives just as fast as the 1.8 will let it go. Up to 70 on the freeway running like a top. Then the 914 curse hit town.

It started on a small street in a small town...oh sorry that's another story. I was working on getting the front hood seal on straight, when my wonderful neighbor came over to watch and help. Ok I'm a good neighbor too, and he wanted to be sooo in the way helpful. I asked him to pick up the rubber seal and lift it up over the front lid, and take it off. He sets down his full glass of red wine IN THE STINKING TRUNK (OH WAIT, IT WASN'T STINKING THEN WAS IT) AND SPILLS HIS WINE DOWN THE FRONT OF THE SPARE TIRE BOARD AND DOWN INTO THE AC CONDENSOR.!@##$%^#$%&@#$@%! NOW IT STINKS. Of course, he brings me a roll of paper towels, and then discovers his wife is looking for him and leaves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

So, my girl comes out and starts begging for a ride to go by some of her friends houses. I was happy for the diversion and pulled the top and took off. About 10 minutes later, I started to smell the dreaded smell - Oil on the exhaust.

Pulled back into the drive, looked under the car, and oil is dripping out of the rear of the motor from the hole where the tranny connects. It's oil and not tranny
fluid. I guess it's the rear main seal leaking now. That's the only seal I didn't replace. UUGGGGHHHHHHH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Sounds like a great weekend coming up. Clay, I'll call you and you can give it an inspection to see for sure. <Where's the begging smiley?>

The adventure continues............
