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

Not being disrespectful or nothing, but I think my wife's car might need one of them larger, more absorbent MAXI-PADS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Seriously, a NAPA Silver filter? I would hope for leaks, maybe some of the debris the filter isnt catching will leak out too... Its almost as bad as Fram...

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) |

What happens if a month goes by and it doesn't leak? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

QUOTE(KELTY360 @ May 24 2009, 09:42 AM)  In that case you had better get your car to a mechanic and get her checked out. You might have a Boxter on the way! |
