Oil leak turned out to be a tertiary problem - #4 Cylinder has NO compression and I have a crack in the muffler, and I need a new alternator mounting bracket.

Oil leak was traced back to Cylinder #3, they think it may just be as simple as a bad gasket but they wont know until they take it off tomorrow

did you perhaps violate an Indian burial ground while you were out and about Tup?

Sounds like you got a minor curse.
