Hopefully... anyway.
Have an oil loss related story to relate-- Used to drive a '71 Saab 96 w/V4
(I'D RATHER BE FREEWHEELING!!!!!) and had a dead battery one day. So I kick started it, and decided to let it idle in the driveway to charge up for a half hour or so. Well, it was the early '70's, so decided to kill the charge time in my room blasting the stereo and doing... well... you know what everyone did in the early '70's when they were 20 years old....Imagine my consternation when I remembered 3 hours later that the Saab was still running. Out in the driveway, I discovered 4 quarts of oil on the ground, from a nylon oil pressure sender line that had broken. Bummer. Fixed the line, refilled, and managed to get another flawless 40k out of it before I sold it. Amazing cars. Most probably, caught it soon enough, and the engine was idling with no load, and that has a lot to do with things.
