NC London Cab

It is getting cold in North Carolina (nights as cold as the teens (F) sometimes). I left Sir Fin out in the driveway all day and remembered to put him back in the garage after it was already about 24 degrees F. When he started, it sounded very sluggish, coughed a bunch, then ran rough. I got him into the garage, but he left a little present.

Oil barfing

First a foot-wide oil dump, then a squiggly pattern.

Oil Trail

All the way into the garage.

So I check the location and it appears the oil filter seal had hardened from the cold and oil shot out around it. After a refill and a warm up, he is back to normal. One more thing Sir Fin doesn’t like: cold weather.
