it was while at 20 psi with the Garrett. Double ouch. I think it's going to be ok. I stoped at a light after doing a hard pull and the car smelled like burned oil. After the light turned green, they oil pressure was at the 1/4 mark. I parked the car and while parking the oil pressure light flickered. I stopped the car. And sure enough, the oil plug was gone. somebody is picking one up at CT as we speak. I will know shortly if everything is ok. ------------------ Michel it's going to be ready tomorrow, I promise http://www.azur.qc.ca/rallye

I don't know man. 2 months ago when I dropped of the car at the shop, I drained the oil. I had a check list this week, but it slipped my mind. I'm ashamed of admiting it, but it was not on my check list. It's all my fault. I learned a valuable lesson. ------------------ Michel it's going to be ready tomorrow, I promise http://www.azur.qc.ca/rallye
