Black smoke out back, engine splutter

Yeah, I'm not a fan of worm screws myself. I just bought 2 43mm t bolts. I will be replacing the Olds ones when I get the new ones in.

To be honest I'm shocked it leaked on that bottom connection. That one is a bastard to get on.

I just checked it again, It still has a small leak. like wtf!!! The worm screw clamp is on there good!. I'll have to drain the thing, pull the tube and check it when I replace that clamp. For now, I'll just top her off as I need. I don't have time to do mess with it and it's minimal. Like wth..

Check the gasket at the thermostat. If it leaked there it would likely run down the hose and make it look like its leaking from the bottom.

I checked the thing at the top a few times. It's dry. I just ran her for 20 minutes in the driveway again because it pissed me off. This time, it was dry. WTF!! Anyhoo, it wasn't dripping much before so I'll continue to watch it till I drain, inspect and reinstall that hose.

God I want me a darn car lift.. I hate having to drive on wood, jack one end then the other. Then re-jack the from the other end and once again the last end to get her all the way up.
