2 days ago my 78 year old next door neighbor came knocking. Her 2020 Corolla Hybrid would not start. Not cranking over. Found 6.5 volts and she had left her headlights on over night. Charged the battery and it started. Charged it for a couple hours and she went and got a new battery installed. Her daughter shows up and she was wanting her mother to follow her to drop off 2017 Cherokee at auto shop for brake inspect and oil leak diagnosis. I told her I could do that.
She dropped it that night, turns out she lives on same block and I did not know it. Yesterday I inspected. Does not need brakes. Oil leak is the common oil filter housing/cooler assembly oil leak puking all over the back side of engine and draining down the transmission bell housing. Glad I looked yesterday and ordered parts.
This morning I woke up to 1/4" of ice on my driveway canopy. Is nasty out there. Knocked off the ice and have to watch all day and keep the ice from gathering. Ice like this is rare here in the Oregon Willamette Valley. Hell, we hardly ever get below freezing.
