See the yellow star knob in front of the spider - that is it.

If you are talking engine oil.

Previous owner on my car put oil in the coolant overflow, cost him serious coin at the dealer to fix it AND when I checked the coolant overflow dealer didn't put on the hard to reach fastener after R&R to clean it.

That's weird as most PO's put coolant in the Wiper Fluid reservoir. Your PO was straight up stupid

Nope, grabbed a nice pic off of google which showed a good example for the poster.

Mine will never look like that since I have so much #^@$ to care of, well not really %#$% but rather my wonderful treasures. But mine is not bad at all for 33 years.

Some day we shall meet. At least I did pull up next to you 3 years ago on the freeway going into EC. vroom vroom

Mine had coolant in the intensive headlamp cleaner fluid res when i bought it.
(was the very brief and clueless 2nd owner)
I think it ruined that little pump.

Leo, I think Mark's car is Prussian blue in color.
