I think the story without oversharing is the car was locked in the garage for 13 months with slashed tires, and has finally been rescued...

I'll be doing this in the morning; should be fully charged by then.

My experience has been once our batteries are done, they are done and just wont take or wont hold a charge very well. You can sometimes nurse them along for another few months, but a new battery is in the cards.

If I drive mine weekly it seems to do ok. Any longer than that and I make sure to plug in the Battery Tender.

New development....

I had thought the puddle yesterday was due to the fact we brought the car in during the rain. Turns out this was not the case.

Best estimate, without removing the air box because I don't have time today, is it is coming from the passenger side, back of engine.

Also think my floor may not be true....

Thoughts on source?

Crankshaft seal would be my guess, there is the turbo oil scavenge lines that are also close to there.

I thought the seal was on the other side, tranny side, rather?

That could be oil from the power steering pump. Check those lines.

It's oil; I can see the power steering lines, reservoir is clean.

So...car is going to see Stuart, or Jeff?

If it goes out to Jeff, then someone can pick up the Teal Deal when it's done
