Spirit Week and the Junk Yard

Tuesday, we found the transmission fluid dipstick and dipstick tube, and Doyle was back! We began to put in the 19 needed pints, and just as quickly it began leaking out. We checked to see where the leak was coming from, and found that there was a nice whole right next to where someone had put a bracket on the dipstick tube. The transmission fluid endeavor was quickly halted, pending the drying of the J-B Weld we had put on. The rest of the week, appeared that it would be a waste, as it was spirit week, and they stuff the floats in the auto shop. We put air in the tires (two of which have since gone flat), and rolled it under the Jaguar, out of the way. The Jag very nicely leaked oil slowly but steadily onto our windsheild. Luckily, we caught this shortly thereafter, and covered the windsheild with a paper towl. However, the entire week was not lost. On Friday, we drove over to Infinity Auto Salvage in EPA. It was pretty cool, with lots of old cars, many of which stacked two high. We finally got the driveshaft clamps, and picked up lugnuts, to replace the missing ones from the left front wheel. We will probably need to get a new power steering pump, as the one we have is missing the pulley gear, and the man at the junkyard said that he didn't think we could get the gear, and that we'd need a whole new one.
