        Or maybe the ATF is stock fluid and really really burnt up and looks like some 20K mi. 10w 30?

          well, I hope it's not 10w 30, the owners manual says 5w 30 except if it's routinely driven in areas above 100*F lol

            10W30 won't hurt it at all. 5W30 is spec'd for fuel economy.

              Looks like mostly around the VC gasket, maybe a little around the cam seal. He says it uses a quart every 900 - 1000 miles, so it's by far not the worst oil leak I've ever seen.

              Wow, that's crazy. You nailed it, and without even needing to see the car. :shock:

                If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

                  No, and unfortunately now it ain't gonna happen. The guy and his wife got into a very nasty fight last night, and she backed into the Festy, hard enough to cave in the whole front end, and shoved it into the wall of their garage. So, it's kind of shaped like a Pringle's chip now.

                  I told his that was grounds for divorce, but he thinks he can smooth things out with her. :banghead:

                          Shh. Don't say that too loud. Already in the works. He just needs a day or two to decide he's never going to do anything with the car.
