I posted a few weeks ago about an oil leak wondering about putting old oil in to top it off. Some one said check the drain plug. Well I did an oil change on the car today, and the plug would not tighten up. Pulled it back out and some if the threads had literally separated from the shaft. Never seen anything like it. So got a new plug with gasket, and we will see if that fixes or at least slows the leak.

Thanks !!

She’ll just say that you hang out with a smart bunch of guys that were right. Once.
