stormdogOh dear. It seems Igor the Neon is, while not an ex-automobile, is going to be out of the picture sooner than I thought.
Juan took a look under the car and figured out where the oil is coming from. "Not good news" he said as he climbed out. It's leaking from a location that would require pulling the engine to have enough room to fix. Probably the oil pump, he says. That or something else inside the block (or even a cracked block). It looks like it's time to retire Igor. He's a somewhat unusual car, being a Sport Coupe with a factory DOHC engine. Maybe someone on Craig's List will be interested in buying a fixer-upper.
For my part, Juan is going to let me know whether he's able to work on the Swift with me instead on Sunday and hopefully get it up and running. If not, I'm going to be going to bed early on Sunday night so I can bike to the train station before work. Whee! I'm not going to drive the Neon anymore except in case of emergency; looks like oil is all over the timing belt which, sooner or later, is going to be a death sentence. And I'd like to have a working engine when I sell the beastie.
