Afraid of the answer.....

Here is a picture of the hoses as they should be in the trunk,

It's the hoses on the other side of the firewall that I don't have a diagram of.

The fitting that blew is on the other side of the firewall and that's where he made the repair (he told me that was all he did)

I don't think he touched these hoses (but I may be wrong)

But just so I understand correctly, the bottom hose out of the bottle should go to the drain tube on the other side. Right?

So if it's somehow connected to the hose that comes out of the oil cooler, every time the engine it's going right down the drain?

Yes I know. However from the pic I supplied it will be obvious if they are wrong.

I see now.

But the tank was done by them months ago.

It was never an issue until the day the pulley went bad.

Someone earlier in the thread did refer me to a different mechanic near where I live in case I need it (thank you for that)

So we will see.

Maybe I'll be able to do it.

I will also get you a photo.

This is the next logical step. Too much time and long distance troubleshooting to assume or take anything for granted now. We're getting closer though.

Point taken.

The car still runs great.

It just has a bladder problem.
