My Car Takes The Cake!

There was one day I just so happened to glance backward at my car, an older Acura Legend.  That’s when I noticed It.  There was an oil puddle forming under my front end.  That was the beginning of a week long ordeal of adding 2 quarts of oil every day plus I added 2 bottles of “stop oil leak”  in a week.. Everything leaked out by the end of the day. The checking of the oil took place 2 or 3 times a day. I kept waiting for the “stop oil leak” to start working.  That day never came.  Then I got my oil changed because I thought the last time   it was changed  the mechanic might have made a mistake.  Well, ya, he did.  He put on the wrong size oil filter.  I had real high hopes that a correctly done oil change this week would stop the leak.  But it didn’t help.  On Sunday, I had time to relax and think this through.  I decided I’d take it in to the best mechanic I know and get a diagnosis and an estimate.  So ya, it’s the cam seals in the front of the engine where the oil is pouring out the mechanic says.  He has to tear it down and take off the timing belt.  So it’s in the shop getting fixed and it’ll go on my credit card – a large amount,, otherwise I wouldn’t have a car to drive anymore.  The moral of the story:  Keep a pile of ready cash in the bank in case you need car repairs. OK?
