Question Re: The Aero blew a gasket... literally!!

It looks like 5 gallons on the inside of my engine compartment! I guess my engines gets the bath that I have been thinking about giving it. Maybe I need to design a keeper for that dip stick. Hmmmmmm.....delrin clip, hinged snap over.. this might be easy...

Mike , I noticed in your previous post you mentioned doing a OBDII read. Since I'm a new owner I'm not sure If I need a buy code reader or if the car has a way of spitting out codes itself. My Z used lights, my Cad displays on dashboard. Anyway, if it will display, how do I access ? Thanks
