Still trying to track down my "oil leak". I was going to change the oil cooler gasket during my oil change today. But I lost the gasket I bought. haha I may just take it to the dealer and ask them what's leaking.
uh... I had the same hunt last March. I ended up with an entire new engine with a FMIC! Reminds me of that joke about the guy who went shopping for a tampon for his wife and ended up in the sports store

Twins! Got any pictures so I can get an idea of what I'll be seeing?
Not on me... my car is 3 hours away as well.... but I love my blacked out look so they are beautifully inconspicuous.

Its two fold.... one, cops can see inside as they approach very clearly, and another main reason: gives them a reason to stop someone.
Being married to a cop - I ask those questions. Often some laws even the cops roll their eyes at.
