Could be. I'll update this thread whenever I find out.

Haven't heard back from the shop yet, but wherever the leak was originating from, it sprayed upward and soaked the under-side of the plastic engine cover. Based on where the engine cover was soaked with coolant, I'm guessing it's the oil filter housing. We'll see.

Starting this thread mostly to note anything interesting the shop might find. I was heading in to the office this morning and as I was pulling in, the "add coolant" light came on. No big deal, as it came on one other time since I bought the car in 2023, and just needed a tiny bit to top up. I...

:ROFLMAO: We had an underpass like that in the small town where I grew up. It claimed many a U-Haul truck and the occasional 18 wheeler.

Wow, where?

Mark's Automotive Repair Center in Old Hickory gets good reviews. But they're probably like most places which won't install customer supplied parts..

They can't beat the WalMart price of $26.44 per 5 quart jug for Euro L. Edit: just checked WalMart's website and Euro L is out of stock. I may go with Mobil 1 ESP for my next oil change. $27.97/ 5 qt.

LiquiMoly makes a fine oil for my 535d, but it's almost twice the price of the Pennzoil Euro L with the same BMW LL-04 spec. so...

I believe it is the Atlas cargo planes that I see in/out of HSV

Curious why you are doing rod bearings? Preventative? Known problem on this engine? ???

Magnificent planes. We get a few of the 747 cargo planes landing at HSV every week. It's amazing to watch them take off and land.

If you decide to pigtail, give the Wago 221 3-wire or 5-wire connectors a try. In my experience they are easier to use than wire nuts.

I drove my old VW GTI with the CEL on for over 250K miles. It had a secondary air injection fault code that I couldn't have cared less about.

Same with my son. He knows how to do a few things in theory but just has no interest in actually turning a wrench. I did go through the process of changing a flat tire on his Jeep with him in case he ever needs to do that.

Sorry about your friend.

I should have a sign made & placed leading to my front door that reads "The last solicitor went missing".

Every "best friend" I ever had is now either distant or departed. The older I've gotten the more I'm OK with not having close friends. I have one former co-worker where he and I followed each other to/from several jobs over the last 20 years that I meet up with several times a year for lunch but...

Looks like a fun plinker. Enjoy!

I did, and I didn't.

When a US military plane goes into the sea for any reason, what happens to it? Do we recover it, or does the sea claim it?
