I have recently been gifted a beautiful 31 coupe. I am quickly learning how to care for cosmetics and "mechanicals" and will no doubt be posting many more times in the near and distant future - Hello All -

Got the horn, brake lights, battery, battery kill switch all on-line again. Small potatoes really. Lovingly waxed and buffed. (Brakes need a look next)

After I go for cruises I notice droplets of what appear to be oil on the drivers side lower fender at the running board. These droplets foul up the polished finish...

As far as i can tell this oil is coming from either the breather or the dip stick. Subsequently finding its way past the hood louvers...

Does anyone know if they make a rubber gasketed dipstick (or is this a job for the do it your-selfer??)...

Best to All
