Ok, we had a good session going for the morning when we smelled oil on Jim's first hot lap. By the second and third hot laps, he was smoking a lot, all oil smoke. He got to our pit area and stopped, and opened the hood, what a mess all over the engine, oil was everywhere.
After some looking and help from lots of people, Jim determined the Accu Sump oil line (AN-8) was being cut by the power steering pulley, finally letting loose this morning.
We were able to jury rig a fix with hose and clamps and Jim ran his afternoon session, although with a 10 second penalty as he ran out of his group.
The fix worked and held with no loss of oil. Yahoo!
We are on our way to BMW Performance Center and a great Autocross course and then on to Virginia International Raceway.
So, although it looked bad, we got filthy and oily, and we ran late, WE Ran and got a time and NOT a DNS! Again - Yahoo!
