Aha So! He will have a great chance to learn some Japanese. It is a place I would like to visit some day.

The coolant overflow tank on my El Camino has a slow leak on the bottom of the tank. Weird place to leak, but it is dribbling. I replaced the OEM one around 15 years ago because it was so stained and ugly. This one is a GM branded one, just decided to leak. So I ordered one from OPGI. $38 bucks. It will take 5 minutes to swap. I ordered it yesterday.

Today I got FOUR emails from them. Each one was identical as far as I can tell, and they all said the tank is back-ordered until 03/15/2019. Wait, what? That is 5 days ago. So it is "back-ordered" until 4 days before I ordered it, and it took them four emails to say that. WTF?

I figure I will wait a week and check the status. Hopefully they don't say I got it last month and I just don't remember putting it on, and I need to order a new one.

It is not a major issue for the slow leak, but I do want it fixed properly. Replacement is the only fix.
