It would be greatly appreciated if one of you fine fellows or ladies could help me out. I really would rather spend my money on parts and paint rather then a hoist.

My 68 sprung an oil leak and it is kind of bad. I am 90% sure it is coming from the oil pan. Its a super slow drip but after a jaunt on the freeway it is pretty coated down there. I also figure since it is out it deserves a cleaning and painting so I can get to all the hard to reach spots.

If anyone in the southern california area can help me out I would love to buy you a beer. I live in pomona.

This would probably be easier if I was in texas tho seeing as most every member i talk to on here seems to be in texas.

I was in Belton Texas for our little get together. There were over 70+ Elkys there. It was so cool. I probably talked to some of the same Texans today. It was so cool.

I would offer you mine, but by the time you drive out and back to Tujunga from Pomona, it's cheaper to rent one for $20.00 locally...

Ya this is true.

Might be 'buying' one from harbor freight or something. When I am done with it i can always return it.

I'm in Santa Ana, about 45 minutes from you, if that's any closer.

You may be right, but the worst i have heard of someone returning a christmas tree in june without a single needle left on it. This was done at a local home depot where a friend of mine works.

I have 45 dollars right now in the bank and an oil leak. I am just doing what I need to to get by. If you want to judge me that's fine.




Novelle I would maybe be able to come by to do the work after I get paid next week.
