I wrapped a shop rag around it this morning and then went on a 20-mile drive. The breather tube blew oil out several drops on the rag in that short drive.
Yes, to all the above. It is soaked through (permanent) stain. I do have the 2.3. And it is the driver's side. If I reach as far as I can underneath the brake booster, the tube is oily. Thanks for the advice. Either diagnosis is concerning.
I retired from commercial printing. My Photoshop/Illustrator skills have gone bye bye. Sorry. I tried tracing the tube better. Are we still talking about the same tube?
After looking at a schematic and trying to trace the route with my hands, it sure seems like the front diff tube. I had fluids (front diff, TC, rear diff) changed last fall. I wonder if it was overfilled?
Rotated tires this morning and noticed a wet area on driver's side inner fender. Went under the hood and with my fingertip felt the end of the "U" shaped tube was wet. Should this be connected to something? Overflow? Hadn't seen this before. Thanks
Great video. I need to give a shoutout to the CORE guys out of BV for the trail maintenance they did
assembling the corduroy trail bridge you drove over. They also put up markers around Mirror Lake so everyone knows where the edge of the trail is when the water is high early in the summer...
My best friend rode in my 2dr yesterday while Christmas shopping. Much easier to get around in Wichita, KS versus her Washington, DC. Said she loved it and now wants one of her own. So, we will see. She thought a 4dr would suit her. Of course she doesn't understand the moar door versus real...
For me, I remove flares and apply good thick foam coating of Scrubbing Bubbles. Wait a few minutes and then use a potato brush to scrub. Finally, a good rinse. The worst stuff I've removed is manure slop from cattle trucks dumping it while turning onto the interstate on-ramp.
Sadly, this rule gets broken all the time. Taking a different route to avoid a mudhole or obstacle creates a new social trail that everyone then takes. Ugh.
I agree, usually uphill right-of-way. But also, a case-by-case basis. Who has the best spot to pull out of the way? After getting to trailheads that become multi-use single tracks and start hiking, I have stepped aside to let the motorcycles or bicycles stay on the power to keep going uphill.
In a different thread, I posted a pic of the FP rear shock mount skid plates. Haven't had a chance to test them out. But I had previously bent one of those mount tabs on a trail in Colorado. So, I saw the need.
