March 2nd 2016 in Newfoundland. So much for the frozen North reputation. Only +5 Celsius but a good heater makes for a nice top down drive before the official start of Spring.
Got the AA badge bar emblem from my daughters two Christmases ago. Figured out a way to mount the badge bar emblem to the grille without ruining it. I wanted to keep it because they took the trouble to find and order it for me and I didn't want to replace it with a Moss grille badge. I really like the enamel AA badge but a lot of folks think it stands for Alcoholics Anonymous. I tell 'em that's exactly what it stands for.
So I noticed there is a small oil leak on my garage floor now that the car has been sitting for a while. After a while of inspecting and following sources, I came across the following.
The head rests on the block and where you see the 2 arrows is a little bit of a ledge from the block. There is some oil pooled on top of the ledge. Looking around I see oil on the two plugs above circled in red.
I will have a better look tomorrow but I am thinking there should be no leaks from the plugs since they are plugs for water. Possibly coming from the valve cover seeping down that way? I need further investigating. However, just to be double sure, those two plugs are for water. Correct ???
If you buy new CV rear axles from rimmer brothers make sure you tell them to check them prior to shipping. One of my axles arrived with a tear in the boot and it's almost impossible to get support from them. I patched it.
After a long 18 months she is running and looking better than when I picked her up.
