I know what you mean! Quick story. I thought I had it fixed, then I returned home from a quick trip and when I pulled into the garage I heard dripping. I opened the hood and my whole engine compartment was covered with
antifreeze. Polished everything was gunk! Spent several hours cleaning and fixed the water pump leak. Several weeks later I drove to town and back and when I pulled into the garage I heard dripping. Opened the hood and my whole engine compartment again gunked! This time the CSI thermostat housing blew an O-ring! I was about to go insane.
Another quick note. First time I changed my
oil, I missed the old gasket was still on the
oil filter mount. Installed new filter, filled with
oil, started motor and heard much drippage. My whole engine compartment was oil covered including the bottom side of my hood. Not a good day either.
I'm sure these will not be the last little gremlins to punish me, but it's still fun to correct such problems and get back on the road.
