[DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: Oil Leak. Need some suggesions

Mon Jun 13 14:22:29 EDT 2016

So long as it wasn't perfectly clean, there is a good chance of a nice 
trail from the scene of the crime.

I hope not.  I will know more once I get under it.

          Good Morgan to POCA list,

          I have about 5k on my engine rebuild.  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.  More after I get under the car.

          Terry
