So yesterday Nebe is like, your car's leaking oil. I'm like no it's not…
Not much later I'm dry and pulling over. Get some oil in her and limp to my mechanic. Nearly stopped and called AAA. I think I dropped about three quarts on the drive over. Bad.
Some research later and it looks like there was a recall on a rubber oil hose that the previous owner never did, or they did and that one failed as well. Current replacement is all metal. Recall expired in March 2013 anyway, but had I know I would have done it.
Anyone actually check on recalls when buying used?

For a guy who seems to always have the answer for everyone else I am surprised that this basic part of buying a used vehicle got by you.....
Of course, Block Island Jeff just harvests cod from the surf year round, and makes his own motor oil using their livers
