Oil Leak

I made quite a bit of progress this weekend. I flushed the coolant and replaced some of the hoses. I repaired the front bumper temporarily. I also repaired the fender as best as I could.

My small oil leak at the oil cooler turned into a waterfall on saturday. I spent a few hours on saturday trying to remove the oil lines from the cooler with no luck. I worked on it on sunday and ended up asking Eric for help. We were able to get the lines off. I than walked to the Autozone around the block looking for crush washers. They had an assorted pack but only one. I than walked about a mile to a Checker to get more crush washers and they didn’t have any that worked (I did talk to them on the phone). I took this morning off to get the car fixed. I drove all over town looking for crush washers that would work. I ended up going to a different autozone and bought two more assorted packs. It the packs there was one that I needed and a second that was close. I needed two of each. The one that was close, I had to use the dremmel to get it to work. I get all that done and go to put it back into the car only to find out the oil cooler is cracked at the fitting. I than have to take it to a welder to have it repaired. I get the car back together only to find out it is back to leaking. I drive the car to work and it is now leaking quite a bit. This car is going to be the end of me.
