With the weather staying in the 60's for a few more days I wanted to finish off the week with a couple more quick projects. First is to try once again to find a slow seep in the transmission filler/reservoir area. I've installed a new Fel-Pro Trans Pan Gasket twice and carefully torqued the bolts correctly but still have a slow drip somewhere along the rear of the transmission pan (?).... I'm beginning to suspect a cracked reservoir. It is just enough of a leak for Miss Purdy to mark her territory every time she is parked for any length of time. I keep newspaper under her in the garage to absorb her piddle
Now that the HVAC temp control motor is working as advertised - next is to put the gauges on the A/C system to check out the pressures. I'd replaced the compressor, drier and line seals when I added an external power relay to the clutch circuit and installed Freeze-12 a year or so ago. The previous owner had an A/C bill from the Porsche dealer in the glove box when I bought Miss Purdy that was for more than I paid for my 85 - Lady in Red.
Finally I need to replace the odometer gears in Miss Purdy - again. I'm beginning to wonder if this is one of those lost cause projects. There have also been a couple of repeat odometer gear failures in a few of my friends 928's and a BMW. The 928's were possibly the result of a self inflicted skill level miscalculation but the Beemer was a professional garage speed-o-meter swap out.
