that really sucks... i just looked at it again. yep i just have a thin
film on the bottom of the belly pan. i'll continue to monitor that. it
looks like normal buildup on the sides of the intake also. i don't really
see any new oil... i just washed the engine yesterday too... i woner if i
loosened something up.. but where is the oil going?? there is always
something...
