Bad Day, Very Bad day

Thanks for the WB, Tom. If it were me, I would go ahead and pull the engine. I mean it's what 20 or so bolts and 4 hoses and a few wire connections? It's easy as heck to make a mistake working on your back. Would be much better to access the bottom end with it on a stand upside down. At least that way, you can see everything and get right to it. Plus, if you have to go any farther (hopefully not) it will be out of the car already and you can take care of it. Just my 2 cents.
