The first of many repair jobs
Dear Tom and Ray: My wife and I just became the proud owners of a 1981 Fiat 2000 Spider with only 40,000 miles on the odometer. The car is in great shape, runs like new and is absolutely fun to drive. After parking the car overnight, I noticed that a small amount of oil had accumulated under the car, and upon investigation found that oil was seeping from around the cam box cover on the passenger side of the engine. From what I can determine, the leak is small at this point, but persistent, so it isn't something that I would like to let go until I park the car for the winter. The cam box cover looks very accessible, and I have replaced gaskets on small engines (welders and other similar machines), so I am reasonably sure that I am up to the task. However, as in all things mechanical, there usually are unknown things that happen as soon as you put a wrench to it. Are there any quirks particular to this repair that I should know about? — Jeff |

The case of the missing cabin filter
Wheels: Gary of West Carrollton writes by e-mail, "I purchased an in the cabinet air filter for my 2004 Avalanche yesterday. I took the cover that goes over the fan and etc. under the dash on the passenger side. Next I got a flashlight and started looking for the clip which must be released to open a long plastic door so the old filter can be taken out and the new one installed. The only problem is I see no screws or a clip to release the door. As best I can tell, I do not have a door to open and may not have an inside-the-cabin air filter? I guess I am confused since the parts book at the auto parts store shows I have such an air filter." |
