No more oil spots, ever?
I have an idea that I am going to try. My 2.7 always leaves its little calling card of oil whenever I park it. I am going to make a little "drip tray". This will hang about 1" under the engine off of the oil return tubes. In the tray I will put in little absorbant pads.
In theory the oil that always drops on the driveway will fall into this tray and be soaked up by the pad. The only question I have is will this in any way cause the engine to heat more? I am thinking that it will only be maybe 8" wide and 10". I don't think there will be much of a heat problem, any suggestions? Will keep this updated with pics if it works.  Shawn |

Sounds good, but don't let the ricers hear about this.

I think you've been watching too much day time TV. . .too many day-time commercials anyway. Well, let us all know which pad soaks up the most blue dye. LOL
