You are waywayway beyond my car mechanic abilities... ?

--------------------------------------

Trust me, I am *NO* mechanic. I usually get frustrated and end up
breaking something.

But it was kinda fun. Mrs.E. even got a big kick out of watching my
efforts and actually became a little emotional. Back in our younger
days raising kids, etc., we could never afford a new car so I was
always spending half the weekends fixing up (as best I could)
whatever car or cars we had just so I could get to work again the
following week. But as the years went by and financial situations
changed, the old cars became a thing of the past, replaced with easy
to buy new ones. I've certainly had my share and then some of nice,
new fancy cars. But I've lost interest in them now. I actually got
a big kick out of searching for an older car that I could "fix up" and
use for local driving instead of using the truck all the time and I
got a weird sense of accomplishment in fixing the AC system and
installing new front rotors and brake pads on it. Something I haven't
felt for many years.

You still don't know where the gas went. You will be back.

Maybe not.. A lot of these kits now have "stop leak" built in. Some have
the black light dye too so you can go back and find the leak. A good tip
for Dick might be just to go back and check all the joints...

Just a note, Greg is refering to the fact that the stuff that goes in
there doesn't degrade or "go bad", if it's not working, it's not there
anymore, there is a leak.. At least for freon, etc...
