Well… took some time off going out for my lunch walks. It started out as it was too cold, too much rain, yada yada. I decided to go for a walk after I ate and did the normal path and speed as before. I’m feeling it now.
EDIT: even though it caused some d
I jacked up the BMW this afternoon trying to find the source of an oil leak. It seems to be coming from the driver side of the car but the leaks I’ve seen on the garage and driveway indicate a passenger side motor leak. It may be such that the path of flow down to the ground is being channeled towards that direction.
After further research there seems to be a common leakage on the left side valve covers that will eventually make its way down to the floor. I will see if I can get into it this weekend, start looking at BMW valve gasket kits.
I stopped by a local smog shop that I’ve gone to before in the past. I figured they would be the best chance for me getting it done as a drive in.
No problems passing smog. It seems the older the cars are the faster the smog test.
The last few years weve been under a drought condition. The latest in storms has probably gotten us out of the restriction. So much rain and flooding going on.
I didn’t have any rain on my way to work but yet the traffic was still jammed up on highway 99 where the floods have been these past few weeks.
Ever since I had the Flowmaster 10 series installed there was a distinct rattle that progressively gotten worse every time I drove the car. Today I jacked up the rear to investigate. The left side muffler tip was the culprit. I think the muffler place forgot to tighten it back down after the installation. The right side was on tight as I checked it. Once everything was tightened the rattle went away. Nice when it’s an easy fix.
I also checked the air and set the pressure level to all four tires manufacturer specifications of 44 psi.
Like most of the time after work no matter what route I take home there is some freakin’ roadblock. These are random areas and the places that typically have a roadblock still have one.
Today I was following a peanut sized import and came across another roadblock on our lane. The driver pulled to the oncoming lane and dodged the roadblock setup. I stopped. Thought about it and said “fuck it” and off I went.
Caddy 99′ cruising through jet ski style! I’m glad I have the stock tire setup, not dropped low. At least not for now…
got hacked…
We had a slight break in the weather and it looks like rain again for another 5 days or so. I’ll be working on the Cadillacs CV half shaft driver side once the weather clears up. This will more than likely be a weekend job.
You can see from the photo the grease has squirted out of the CV bearing rubber boot. More than likely there is a tear or pin hole on the other side.
This guy pops out of nowhere sometimes. I look over and see him staring at me. I don’t have a clue he’s there most of the time. He has very strong stealth ninja skills.
