where is the fluid level at when it is warmed up on a level surface.

I know it sucks, but if you own one of these cars you have to love to tear it apart and put it back together again just as something else requires attention

that might be a bit dramatic but if you wanted something that will be trouble free get a new *****

I love the cars and I am sure you will to as soon as you get over the fact that untill you replace every part on the car you might not have to replace the new parts yet!!!
