A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Drip lip was it was the small  leap forward


I'm amazed that thing is an actual thing that sells.  His fillers are pretty sweet, but that drip lip is just silly.


It would literally be less trouble to wipe off the garage floor than it would to get under the car to change its tampon.

Maybe for those that don't drive their cars and their wives complain about oil spots?

...and if the car doesn't move, how can the wife bitch about oil spots in ''her garage''?


  Still amazed it made it to market.     Kinda makes me wonder how many goofy ideas I've shelved that were viable.

I hadn't heard of this "drip lip" thingy yet, so I had to go see what it's about. Lol.


How are you going to know if there is oil in your Buick if it's not leaking....


It's part of what these cars are -  sure you can seal them up for awhile, but eventually it'll leak again.

Its a fiberglass torque converter cover that has a pocket for a paper towel on the bottom.

I guess if you really wanted to give one a test whirl, you could roll up a paper towel and stuff it in the drain hole on the factory unit.


...unless you're like me and didn't bother to reinstall the cover  :)

I was going to put a petcock in the bottom of the cover and just drain it now and again

Back in '98 when I first bought my GN, I took a tapered socket that wouldn't pass through that hole and flared it downwards.    That way the oil droplets wouldn't hang around, they go ahead and drip out.


    Now I have a GN that doesn't leak oil.  (and no idea where my TC cover is at)
