Well after a horrible stay at La Guardia airport for almost 12 hours, I am home and thinking about my car problems. Tried to get into it after work today, which usually goes something like this:
The underside of the engine was covered with oil. A manual transmission is supposed to hold about 2 quarts. I drained, and I'm being generous here, about 2 cups of oil before it was empty. So the next step is to figure out where exactly the oil is leaking from.
- 4:30pm Start getting psyched up.
- 5:00pm Get changed into coveralls, boots, etc.
- 5:15pm Undress, go to the bathroom, re-dress.
- 5:30pm Get motivational music going on garage sound system (involves configuring bluetooth audio path).
- 5:45pm Tidy up garage (including finishing half done projects cluttering up the space).
- 6:30pm Make sure I have all the required tools for the project.
- 7:00pm Get a call from the neighborhood boys saying they are walking down to the bar.
- 8:30pm Get back from the bar, put the car up on jack stands.
- 9:00pm Remove belly pan cover and inspect the situation.
- 9:15pm Drain the transmission
- 9:30pm Time to go in for the night and eat dinner.
- 9:45pm Write blog post.
