My Ur-q Let me down this morning (massive Oil Leak)

[Sonar465@aol.com]

Last night was not a good night for me and my Ur-q.  First off I got a
speeding ticket of the Long Island Expressway (75 in a 55).  I guess I was
due, it has been awhile.  Then this morning I walked out to my trusty steed
and there was quite a large puddle of oil under the right wheel well, the
right front wheel and the inner fender liner is covered in with oil.  I did
not get a chance to investagate but I'm thinking it is one of the oil lines
that runs to the cooler.  A while back I hit the cooler on a curb and kinked
one of the lines slightly, I did not think it was all that bad but I guess
after a year it let go.  I have to say that there was no damage to the engine,
at least there where no terrible noises.  The top end of the engine did make a
bit of noice when I first started it but it was no worse then a bad day for
the tappets.  I am off to go skiing this weekend so  can't take a look but I
am sure I will have questions come next week.  I have owned the car for two
years and a few day now and this is the first time that the car has not gotten
me going where I needed to go. Not bad for a fast, exotic car.  

Cheers,
