Drove it yesterday. Went for a jaunt up an old mining track called the Carrick Town track - a good work out! Wanted to see if my bash plate mod and the larger MTs cleared the ruts and rocks. This was in prep for the 4WD club run I've invited myself to tomorrow [Saturday]. However when I was near the top I heard my muffler clonking a bit. Stopped to pop it back onto its rubber hanger and noticed muddy water dribbling down from the front. Got the muffler onto the hanger and noticed that that dirty water was still dribbling - went and had a closer look - EEK engine oil!
Needless to say I did a road side repair. I managed to crush a rubber oil cooler pipe and put a split in it. I poured a litre of oil in the motor and crept down the road home. Checked the oil at home none showed on the dipstick - added another litre - then another half litre - oil now just on the bottom of the dipstick! added another litre finally on the full mark! There must have been precious little oil left in it on the hill! Basically I changed my oil again!
