Thanks geezer101! This kind of advice and support is why Im so grateful that I found this forum. Hopefully, I can be of some assistance to someone else here....

One other question for those who may know; is it dangerous for that oil to be getting onto the exhaust (as in, will my truck burst into flames), or is it simply smelly and irritating to those around me? Not that I want to pollute, or irritate, but in case I had to drive, is it dangerous?
Thanks again!
