well...went to change my oil today. regular 5000 mile interval. finished everything up and pulled the drain pan out from under the car. thought to myself " self, that doesn't look like very much oil." went to poor the contents of pan into my used oil container. container is graduated so i can see just how much oil is being added to it. only added 4 quarts to the container!! i got to pokin around and found the culprit, leaking front cover gasket on the backside near the altenator.
thank god for mobil 1! as of now, i am not aware of any enine damage. car ran like a champ this morning. i was driving it pretty hard too
prolly would have takin a little easier had i known that there was only 4 qts in there!!!
hopefully there will be no death tick here in the next couple of days
i guess i will be doing the 3 liter sooner rather than later
