It's my birthday but Smokey got the gifts

Yes getting older has it's drawbacks but wait until next year.  That's when I might get social security and a discount on parks and good stuff like that.  It was very nice to get cake and icecream with my kids.  But back to the work.  

Smokey got new engine oil cooler lines. 

And a new oil pressure sender. The old one was leaking. 

And new oil that is good for older engines. 

And a new old vehicle license plate. 

And I drilled out the carb squirter nozzle to help it run better and finished the day with adjusting the power steering belt to fix the sqeal it was making.  All in all a good few days of RVing.  

A new oil leak

Yeah Smokey started leaking oil from one of the engine oil cooler hoses.  

After looking online for good fixes I decided to have the rubber hoses replaced.   But knowing how cheap I am I tried a quick fix before I get the new hoses made.  Sure I will probably spend $100.00 on the new hoses but much cheaper than blowing all the oil out and driving merrily along the freeway.   I took a couple of hose clamps and just put them over the crimped fittings.  

Now if you can see the streak of oil on the blue hose that is all that came out after taking a drive.  Before I put the clamps on it would leak much more oil just letting it run without driving.  

So if in a pinch just put some clamps on. 

Oh yeah Smokey is no stranger to oil leaks.  LOL
