Talking It takes TWO CHP's to bring ME down!

I missed my own drive!!!!





But in the end...it was really this. And if anyone ever thought anything else but an oil leak as to why I got my license plate....think again!! ...



(Will know more what it is Monday, as of right now, lost a few quarts on 101!!)

I want to thank everyone for coming out to the drive on Saturday, it was a pleasure meeting new faces and seeing old ones. I'm sorry I missed the drive...next time!

Robyn, sorry to see your sweet ride in that condition.

Unless the whole seal self destructed, it's unlikely that's a RMS.

Robyn, we really missed you girl. I was hoping to see you lead the fast pack to the marina. What a shame. Everyone was asking about your whereabouts.

But, better be stuck on 101 than on 35/84

Maybe it's a sign. It's time to pull a trigger on a turbo

I was wondering where the whet spot was. Hope it's a busted oil line and nothing more. At least you've got a trusted place to fix it!

Robyn. If that is the oil below the left tailpipe, check the oil feed line for the SC. It is right above the number 1 sparkplug.

It looks exactly what happened to me. The oil feed line to your supercharger comes out of the block on the left rear of the block. It was a fairly simple fix but I had to pull the SC. I took pictures but never posted them. The clamp on a water line to the radiator coolant tank rubbed a hole in the oil feed line. I had oil sprayed all over my rear bumper and it looked like it was pouring out the exaust on the left, but it was coming from above. I only lost one quart of oil before I pulled over. The fix is a new oil line and I rotated the clamp away from the line and also put another bigger hose over the spot that was at risk. Good Luck, Will

Just a tip to anyone that drives around with Robyn....

STAY IN FRONT!!!!!

when the CHP rolled up I was wiping my windshield...I think he thought I was detailing my car.

When I saw the pics I thought it was a James Bond-ish attempt to spray oil on the road to foil the bad guys!

Hope it is just a leaky oil line!
