Any input appreciated
Just get a manometer and drill / thread a tap into an extra oil cap. Some better meters record so it can be left in the trunk.

Just get one in PSI, not "WC.

Sure...but who's got "an extra oil cap" layin' around? Not me

I'm a LONG way from wealthy (BELIEVE ME!), but at the moment I don't have lots of time on my hands. If having someone else quickly and reliably checking this for me is an available option, I'd jump at it.
