I have a very small leak on the back passenger side of the engine (near the AC return line). But it is a very small weap. I haven't tried cleaning it off to see if it is still leaking, but i wouldn't be supprised if it was just when the car was breaking in. Where is your leak from?

i had a dream last nite that i drove in deep water and i turned it off before it got killed and when we parked i pulled the engine out of the car with the key still in tact so i tried to start it and it only made painful noises, so im like FUCK and i took out the drain valve and water came out with lots of shavings!

so i called saturn road side assistance but i didnt know there number so i guessed a few times.

i was very pissed fearing that they would try and rebuild and it would be slower, or they would say sorry and my ins would have to cover it.

so i warp to someones house and im still pissed and this girl kept propisiting for sex and im like my woman will beat the shit out of me! and the door ended up locked and i had to fight her off. eventually i told her i need to go call saturn to see if they picked up my car yet, apparently she had a soft spot for cars and let me go, so she uplocked the door with telikinesis and i walked out, then her parents came home and apparently that turned her off and i was once again safe however my car was still fucked. then i woke up and was insanely confused. and enjoyed my drive to work even more than normal.

was that the largest jack in history? sorry had to mention that odd ass dream.

well the little'n is comming along pretty well first ultrasound is on thrus


and the thread jacker is prob jacking ewww




has anyone else noticed that when your in traffic or somewhere that when you cant really shift into say thrid b/c you will be in too high of a gear and second is just right b/c you keep having to slow a little then speed up a little and your trying to save wear and tear on your clutch so you leave in in that specific gear, after awhile there is a sweet burrning smell ........ i havent been able to figure it out but i have either been thinking A) its from the traffic around me or B) its smells like transmission fluid burning smell ........... anyone else notice that b4? maybe im just smelling things i dunno

My leak is on the passenger side of the valve cover right next to the engine mount. It's not a big leak, but will be soon.

I wonder how my dealer will react to that. I have a decent amount of mod's. I can already hear the spew of shit coming out of thier mouth.

" your pushing too much power for this valve cover gasket and blew it "

" you installed your fuel injectors wrong and your leaking fuel and it made you leak from your valve cover gasket "

" when you installed your fuel injectors, you accidently took off the valve cover gasket and caused it to leak "

" the elf that cleans your engine bay everynight accidently broke it "
