yes it is the bird

and it is at the rear of a 7 qt Milodon pan-right behind the plug but not involving the plug. I bottomed it out somewhere along the line. I'm going to have it looked at Saturday by a friend at his shop. Honestly, I dread pulling the motor because there are about 10 things I'd want to do to the motor and engine bay if I did. All of them involve time and money I don't have right now. I do not want it down for the summer. It only looses about 1/2 qt in 3 months so it isn't a major problem yet. But I'd hate to be on the road and have it let go or bottom it out again. Aaaarrgghh!

Thanks-Mark
