And since this thread has turned into my own little bitch-thread, I have one more for today. OK, maybe two...
Since September, I've been chasing some kind of leak from my radiator. It was just enough to occasionally smell as well as get a few drops on the belly pan. I thought it was the lower hose, so I switched that out a few months ago. But that didn't stop it.
I pulled the radiator last weekend as part of the motor pull, and Eric pressurized it for me today. He dropped me a note saying it's got a pretty good leak in an area that he can't get to to repair. Neither of us know a place we trust locally to get in there and work on it, so I'm shipping it back to the manufacturer to try and fix it. Hopefully they will be sympathetic to the fact that it only has about 3800 miles on it, and it SHOULDN'T be leaking already. We'll see how that goes...
Oh, did I mention that I'm spending the weekend helping my girlfriend clean up from massive water damage in her mountain cabin caused by the water line on a refrigerator bursting while no one was here for 10 days? In between my own stuff, we've been meeting with plumbers, HVAC people, insurance adjusters, disaster recovery people, and the leasing company... Fun!
The hits just keep on coming...
