I think the AOS is trying to tell me something....

Had a chance to go out to MSR (SW of Ft. Worth) for member day and run some sessions. Went out for the first one and it was just incredible, car was perfect...but little did I know.

Came in to the pit area and was doing my usual tire pressure / checking under the car when I saw smoke coming off the exhaust on the right side. Went over to the right side to look underneath and already a small pool of oil was forming on the ground.

Pulled of the top access panel and there was oil all over the top of the motor expecially heavy around the AOS. I have suspected that it was about to go...now I know it.

I have the replacement in my parts locker in my garage. Guess I know what I will be doing this weekend.
