You guys are awesome! Freak, thanks for the suggestion. Anything to avoid crawling under the car is most welcome indeed. I changed the oil filter for the first time 2 weeks ago and due to a stripped head on one of the bolts I was unable to remove the aero pan. What a b***h getting enough leverage to loosen the filter by hand, not to mention the mess on the driveway as the excess oil ran out all the holes in the aeropan. If I can get to the hoses from above I will be so grateful and will not have to take it to the shop.

Any idea where it broke? The high pressure line is metal and runs across the top of the engine on passenger side to the back, down the back and then across the bottom. Drive on any dirt roads lately?

No, John, no idea and no dirt roads. I cringe when forced to take the rare gravel road to a friends house.

I have done both. They look more difficult than they really are. It is quite easy to do.

Thanks Earl! I had just assumed it was going to be difficult and nearly decided to not even frustrate myself by attempting it myself.

If it's the low pressure line you should be able to do it yourself for less than $5.

That's my kiind of repair cost, Immortal!

I hear folks talk about putting the SVX on ramps to get some clearance when working under the car. Do you have some kind of low profile ramps? I have a set of 4 standard ramps that worked great when I used them on my Trooper but they will not work on the SVX The bumper hits on the front and there is no way to get any under the sills for the rear end. Even with a large floor jack raised all the way on a corner, I can't seem to get much room to do any work. If I could trust some cross member to bear the weight from the center of the car (between the front wheels) so I could put my jack stands in the proper location it would make a difference.

I will likely tackle the P/S leak this Thursday and Friday when I have off. I'm just glad I only work 1.3 miles from home. There is a trail of drips out the driveway and down the road and back from the day they spung the leak. It could have been much worse had it broke during this weekend when I made 2 trips to Reading. Driving the wagon sucks compared to taking the SVX.

Thanks again for the tips!
