Hi folks, 

A small follow up.

A request to GW for some advice on my oil leak issues and recent work done resulted in GW sending my local mechanic several parts as a good will gesture no charge.  That wasn’t why I checked in but it speaks very well to GW. 

        I hope that the parts reduce the oil I’m seeing on the outside o the new 2.3 motor. 

Parts include a new dip stick and new cam sensor housing.
