Brake Work??

[rocco_crossing at hotmail.com (Rhett Farnum)]

I was not spewing oil like mad unless I was going down the road. Then it was 
only spraying all over for ~300mi. I'm not sure how fast it was coming out 
but in the 400 mi trip I made that wknd it only lost maybe 2 qt.? Needless 
to say I have no use for  reundercoating about a third of the car now though 
because it was treated with hot oil.



Peace Out,
Rhett

to makeing it look better!!)
