A tip for those who do their own auto support

It's normally helpful to check EVERY package in the aftermarket box for, oh, say, a radiator. It's amazing what you might find in there. Like, say, the fittings for the transmission fluid cooling lines. The fittings that NO ONE else had, or even heard of. It's funny how that works. And it's definitely NOT funny how such a stupid fucking oversight can cost one 2 full days trying to find the fittings that don't exist. Except in the original box.

I only wish I fucking were. You SAW me upend the fucking box, too. Just not long enough, I guess. DAMMIT.

Anyway, this evening I found a teensy ATF leak. Can I ask a HUGE favor, and have you call me if you're free for about an hour tomorrow?

Oh, yeah, AND I think I put the adjustment wheel for the serp. belt on WAY too tight and at a bad angle. It's making some odd noises. All these joyous things.

But on the bonus side, there's neither hide nor hair of a coolant leak.
