<VV> oil leak

[J R Read_HML]

Harry,

I was trying to be gentle with him (in a private email), but if he's got an 
original (unmolested) 42,000 mile engine - then I'd just about BET on O 
rings.  And, maybe that has something to do with why there was not time to 
work on it 1 1/2 yrs ago.  But, the season is young and if outside help is 
needed, NOW is the time to seek it out.

And, Matt should know that oil from the O rings will accumulate in the 
heater box and seep (gravity) while parked.

Attachments (if any) are scanned with anti-virus software.

Later, JR
