Man what a day on here So good news so no so good! Jen glad to hear your feeling better. And glad to see Sarge is back on also. I hated 2nd shift. Lucky me was only on it for a week in 32 years! . Space I never got your paper work for your leave ? Hope to hear from you soon. And HOPE everything is OK with you. THis is so sudden . Your all talking about bad weather back east. Hell here in the Phoenx area its been cold as hell here. Got down to 39 last night. Plus we hada Hail storm yesterday afternoon. Followed by heavy rain & wind . Then the temps fell like a lead balloon . But the good news is its suppose to warm back up by Weds . Ozzie is still sick. Called our vet back in Minn this morning. She said were doing what were suppose to. Just have to wait it out. This is day 4 of it!! Today were taking turns getting out of the house for a while. Ozzie nevers knows when he has to go out. So we have doggie diapers on him. He's NOT happy with that at all . But its either that or he goes all over the house! That ain't happening again!!! Ok time to jump in the shower after i finish my coffee. Hope today is a better day for everyone Keane I know you had to work last night. But we want a video we want a video we want a video Rick

I find it real funny..on groundhogs day my wife said "I have a feeling spring is right around the corner, but we're going to get a huge blast of snow soon.." And damn she was right..
Glad you're feeling better Jen.

Like I posted on my facebook page. I wonder how many people still believe in the weather predicting abilities of a ground hog? A ground hog that lives in a cage indoors year round.

I had two apple and six raspberry when I was home this past weekend. I cleaned out the box of six raspberry in two days on my own.

No Paczkis in Mexico, kinda sad.

Mornin guys. I'm up now. Yes I despise 2nd shift but it was either do that or turn down the position. And yes, I jumped over and made my race picks before I went to sleep last night.

I just went and talked to a local mechanic down the street. I pass by them everyday on my way to and from work, and I saw online that they were a Mom and Pop place. I went in and met the owners, sweet older couple, very proud of their work. Talked to them about the Monte, how I'm assuming it's just a pan gasket or a trans line, and he told me that if it was anything serious they would call me and if I say so, they have a local transmission mom and pop shop not too far away that they would send the Monte to.

Friday morning I'm going to go drop it off fingers crossed.

Could be something simple like an oil sending unit. I have a small leak in front of my pan gasket on the 3.1 & I don't tighten the pan gasket - as with previous experiences...LOL! If it gets worse - I will have to do something. Chevy wants $800.00...

Transmission leak, not an oil leak.

Mike, sorry if I missed it, but where's your trans leak coming from exactly? I was having a very minor leak from one of the oil line to transmission body connections on my 06 (enough to leave a small drop on the garage floor if the car sat for more than a day) but for whatever reason it has since stopped, at least enough to not drip.

I don't have my tools to get safely under the car to see. Looks like it might be a trans pan gasket, it's a bad leak, like... I was leaving a trail of fluid
