Update
So after spending longer than I wanted to on the new suspension (thank you East Coast Loctite...aka rust), today I was able to get back into belt shredding trouble shooting. I took my time and examined everything I could think of, but no smoking gun. No sharp edges, damaged/bent...

So I have a 2006 V6 Sport with 170K that is showing a leak near the lower oil pan. I cleaned it up with brake cleaner and have been watching it closely. The leak is small and steady, more on the drivers side and I have not needed to add any oil yet. My thought is to go ahead and replace the...
Those look great. I made some myself a few years back and did a pretty poor job of it. I really like how wide you made the magnets at the bottom. Much cleaner than my version. Any chance you could post a link to the actual magnet strips you used?
Thank
<Insert expletive here>! Not certain how I missed that this morning in my under caffeinated state but I certainly did. Thanks I will repost in the 4th gen section.
