If it's not that, it's either the rear main seal or front main seal. (most likely)

Besides programming, cars are like the other hobby of mine.

Is this still part of the metaphor

@tofuforget, you just advanced to level 5!

No, it's advice if he wants to fix it himself.

But yeah, if it's leaking from the front or back and not out the pan, it's likely front main/rear main or the oil pan seals.

If it's from the back that'd complicate things.

But the most common is cracks in the pan.

Especially if you offroad at all.

One big rock to bop your engine in the butt is enough to do it.

And I appreciate it... Thanks.

Yup!

My 10yo was funny... "Dad, why don't you just order some flex seal and spray it where the oil is coming out?" I think he just wants me to get flex seal so he can experiment with it.

That's a lot of damage.

God those commercials are the new Billy Mays meme.

"WATCH ME SAW THIS BOAT IN HALF! :D"

Yeah... He saw the ad on YouTube and thinks it's a fix-all...

Clearly he hasn't had the pleasure of working with ductape.

The OG problem solver.

Yeah... I have to do a better job of getting him to help me out when I work on stuff.

Am I exaggerating or is Trumps Legal Team officially getting behind team 1776 civil war

Valve cover gasket leaks are extremely common, and easy to fix.

Not to delve into the merits of that happening but this is extreme

@Maw BTW - regarding voting system security and vulnerabilities... Given the constraints of infrequent use and not being connected to the Internet, I am fairly certain that all voting systems are going to be behind on security patches for their equipment. I can't imagine any of them having a proprietary OS - maybe an embedded LINUX OS for voting machines, but not likely. I think Dominion is unfairly being singled out because someone found this 15yo tenuous link to Smatmatic, which had the added sensationalism of the Venezuela link (no matter that it was previously debunked).

@Maw I dont want to break the rules of chat but they are directly talking about war on stage with Trumps lawyers right there

Delete if I cant say that 🤣

Oh, but they aren't Trump's lawyers, remember? Trump has nothing to do with this...I'm sure he will denounce the implications.

Just running his rallies

They just admitted the Kraken is nothing this is valuable

He said how is the kraken lawsuit accurate if Georgia was hand recounted they said there was no hand recount

So they need another full hand recount

True, but I don't think they're as common as pan leaks, and I'd think it'd cost more than $500 to replace the valve cover gasket.

Usually that requires flushing the coolant.

Depends on the car. And valve cover gasket changes are pretty cheap. especially if you do it yourself. I used to work in an auto-shop.

Because I'm pretty sure you have to remove the upper radiator hose from the head.

@Dedkraken It doesn't matter. They can say literally anything at this point. 800,000 forged ballots delivered from China. If that doesn't tell everyone they never took the legal path seriously, they thinking hard enough.

Not in your typical V6 or V8 configuration. What is the car?

@blaisenguns, you just advanced to level 1!

I work primarily with inlines.

This is pretty unreal can they not just keep it at a stable level if crazy why the need to keep topping it
