Sorry about being away guys, I go up to a friends place on the weekends and there is no computer/internet. I have not been able to check out the car, but i am getting my video camera and digital camera prepared for the challenge of finding out what is wrong with the fluid problem. All ideas mentioned (leak, clog, etc..) have run through my head, but the only way to find out is to dig in. I may even make a nice how to thread as a project with youtube videos on my personal channel and pictures as well. of course, its winter and it sucks, and i hate the cold and working in it. lol. thanks for yalls advice.
