Right now my weekends have been alot of sitting around, really not productive, ALL THOUGH, i did find out my truck has an oil leak, i believe its from the valve cover, there is oil all down the driverside rear, oil filter is caked with oily dirt, and that does explain my funny smell whenever i drive it, i guess ill be mobbing my moms cobalt until that is fixed!
