Default Got me thinking?

Checked my oil level Saturday because the bung of my oil pan leaks. I am waiting for my new oil pan to arrive from another forum member. Oil was a half of a quart low. My question at the time was do I put a half a quart of oil in the engine for now, or do i just pour it on the garage floor where it will end up anyway?

I think if you drill a tiny hole in the botton of the oil container (a can would be best here) and prop it up using a funnel and some duct tape to drip into the engine valve cover at the same rate of speed of the drip from the pan, you would have the best interim solution.

at least.. thats what I'd do.

Humm... Lets see I need to set that up for the Power steering fluid, Transmission, Engine oil, fuel pump... At least I don't have to set one up for Antifreeze.
