4400 miles. checked her over for a 400 mile (round trip) road trip to Dover Delaware to throw away a little cash. Wife's idea of an anniversary vacation. Personally I'd rather play golf on a ice skating rink but hey matrimonial bliss has it's sacrifices
.
I noticed a couple of oil drips on the garage floor. Further investigation revealed a common problem. After 22 years the hose clamps on the transmission cooler lines sink a little bit in the hose surface and lose enough tension to allow a very slight leak.
I dropped the right side shield under the engine compartment. All 5 10 MM bolts came out without any frozen-broken issues (very rust free car). Tightened the original factory clamps about one revolution each and cleaned the plastic shield thoroughly to get 22 years of grunge and oil residue off so I could keep an eye on it for any further leaks.
Oil level still full after almost 3k miles, all other fluid levels have stayed the same for 3 months now.
Be back Wednesday evening, talk at y'all then.
regards
