[quote="Hoosier Bird":2kybpdo0]Here she is after I caressed her in a bubble bath, rubbing her in evey crack and crevasse. Hosed her down with my hose and then wiped her gently with a clean cloth. Took her back inside and blew air ever so willingly in all of her cracks and bores until there were no droplets left. Then I dried all of her wet spots and rubbed oil in most private and important areas..................... :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Gary, do you have a second life writing for one of "those" magazines? :devil:

No, but I've read alot of them.......... [/quote:2kybpdo0]

Rear main seal retainer.......

Thanks for showing this one Gary. That's one thing that's getting done on my car right now. I was told that while it was leaking in that area, the seal itself was in decent shape, still pliable. But he'll put the new one in, and now I know it will be done right!
