Definitely the rear main. Nothing else would cause it to drip from that general area. I mean just look at it....

Cut the bottoms off the front bumper caps. Rubbing is now gone.

You'd better clean that up quick or you won't be able to eat off it anymore. You guys in the dry states... Sheesh, all 'ya gotta do is wipe the dust off occasionally.

In all honesty, I really do hate oil leaks. This one leak is going to cause me to degrease the entire engine and transmission once I find the source. And the dirt here, that stuff doesnt come off easy. Its a very fine powder that sticks to everything. Even if you hose it off, everything stays brown.

Same here in AZ... it's that consistency of fine riverbed silt.

Lowered the windshield in my YJ and spent most of the day cruising. Ran some errands and bought a few more things for my new place while I was out

Thanks to all for the well wishes. Just past OK City, almost 1400 miles in two days. I’ve been xcountry several times, been in all but three states on my motorcycle, so this trip is just an A to B slog. Thank goodness for podcasts and Pandora!

Hadn’t planned it. Is there an event? I’ll be going through PA on Sunday. Kinda just wanna get to the other end. Maybe I’ll take a trip out there later in the summer in my other rig, especially if there’s an event or gathering.

I’m in the Boston area when on the East coast.

Cheers all!

Yeah, just a little ribbing... While the clay here is nasty to deal with when it's wet, due to the humidity we don't have the static charge in our dust when it's dry so it doesn't stick.

Put one of these in. OEM CPS. I noticed a big difference between the part stores CPS and the OEM (Seimens). The OEM has a longer electrode tip (about 1/16") than the part stores versions. I compared the OEM (Seimens), Wells (AutoZone), Echlin (Napa), BWD (Advance) and Standard (Pep Boys, division of BWD). The closest to OEM length was the Echlin brand. All the others were short. According to Cruiser54, that makes a big difference in signal output strength. So just a heads up for you guys.

I grew up with British cars, mostly MG & Triumph. Oil leaks were just a matter of fact. You rarely see a rusty engine bay or transmission tunnel. I just wished they leaked ALL OVER. I replaced more fender bottoms and sills than I care to remember.

If there ain't any oil under it, there ain't any oil in it.

Cause its not empty yet.
