I wanted to share some info about an oil leak that developed recently. My car would not leak when sitting nor idling, but if I took it out on the road when I got home it looked like hansel and Gretel with the oil drops following it home. I crawled under the car and even had it running, no drips. What I found just by accident was the petcock was turned in such a way that the vibration of the car made it turn counter clockwise, loosening from the hogshead. It had loosened maybe a half turn of the pipe thread or less. Just enough that when it had a good run it would drip. Just something for you to keep an eye on.

thanks for the heads up! I can see that happening very easily.

It was so hard to see because everything looked normal.
