Subject: [T3] Setback<br>
<br>
I just did a 3-day stint in the hospital bed and am now dragging a<br>
bag-o-piss around the house with me. This will be the case until the 29th.<br>
Details not to be supplied.<br>
<br>
Luckily the car only needs an alignment ( not a problem) but still has an<br>
oil leak coming from somewhere I can't see above the forward part of the<br>
sump, both sides. It could be the sump and I'll check that. by removing the<br>
sump. If it isn't the sump, this will be an engine out task. Which is a bit<br>
of a process due to the CSP exhaust. And I still need to get the washer<br>
stuff in and working. Should be no problem, but it is a left seat out<br>
operation.<br>
<br>
The main problem is my back, which is a vertical train-wreck until my<br>
operation in early July.<br>
<br>
Max<br>
