Ernie,

Good luck on the Oregon sale and I hope everything works out well for you. Don't worry about the Cobra as you can leave it in my garage as long as you want to. I have looked at the oil drip each day and it has stopped so I think the pan bolts may just be loose enough that when the oil is hot and moving around it seeps through the gasket. I wish the 50 year old drip on my 69 Cobra was that simple. It never stops but never drips enough that it even shows on the dip stick. I just wrote it off to the FE experience as every one I have ever owned had an oil drip after about two weeks of driving.

I am not cleaning any of the oil off the bottom as I want you to be able to see exactly what I am talking about.

Ron
