[urq] Stuck in Chicago

[brian hoeft]

I'd drive back.

I drove from Arizona back to Pennsylvania on a quart of Lucas PS stop leak
and 2 Gallons of Super Tech (Wal-Mart/Chi-Com) ATF. It cost me a pump 2
months later(& some grief of leaving all that on the road), but I had the
spare pump and still have a spare rack too (that im now likely to need
because im typing this and thats my luck).

my leak was at the J-hose (95 s6) and i wasnt going to get anything but the
House Of Hose upgraded version.

i dont know how fast the leak is, its your free will and prudence in the
end.

good luck either way.
