It has been running perfectly! I attended the Los Wages Fun Rally and the drive there early Thursday morning was great! Did Mt Charleston on Saturday and Valley of Fire on Sunday. No problems and things still running great. Sunday I did notice my oil gauge being a little wiggy. Jumping around sometimes and sometime showing solid pressure. Sunday I filled up and checked the oil before heading back. I added a quart and the gauge read solid 70. Overfill?? Drove back to Pasadena late Sunday night. Cool air and the traffic was light. Engine purred like a kitten. I haven't driven it since then and last week saw a small coaster-size pool of oil under the car. I am planning to getting it up on ramps this next week and check where I might have a problem. Any suggestions on what things to check first? Oil pressure sending unit? Thanks.
