Thanks for all of your help on Sunday. I owe you one!

Glad you had a good time and I hope no damage was done. Enjoyed meeting you and your friend and hope to see you soon. David Gage, the reason for all the fuel pump chatter is that I think I smell gasoline in my oil. There is a leak from the sump pan gasket and the oil on the pavement smells slightly of oil. The dip stick too. Very slightly, mind you, but enough to make me think about it out loud. The oil filler cap on the valve cover smells just like the cap on my 1997 Disco. Any thoughts on it? Ron Ward
