Working on the car. Tried to start her, out of fuel. Have some on hand, fill her up and try again. When I moved her I was at the end of an oil change and checking all the new hoses for leaks and I was topping off the oil. After all that I have some questions about wiring in the new yellow box. Back to work.
Well I got start up, smoking like hell. Check all the new hose connections, found 2 that needed tightening. Not a real leak, just a drip at the bottom of the conection. Oil finally showing on the dip stick. I don't want to call the coolers done, cause that always makes me wrong I still need to check out turning the engine off. It stopped after start up but it hadn't gotten warm yet. I really want to see it stop when I turn the key off |

I never should have opened my mouth. Did I mention smoke, more than I have ever seen. So, in thinking about it, I had just put about 2 quarts of oil higher in the car than the oil level in the oil in the engine. Somehow, I feel I need to get the mass of the oil lower or as low as the oil return line to the dry sump. I'll have to look at the area inside the diffuser. I'm thinking about moving the fans and the radiators.
