RE: [T3] i am a murderer....

[RJ Latherow <RJLATHEROW@atlantic1.com>]

As soon as I got off the bridge, I pulled of into a gas station.  I
sprinted to the back, pulled out the dipstick.

about 1/50 of a Milliter on bottom.  Smoke coming from the filler tube.

There was enough heat to rotisserie a small dog...

I figured that was the problem. Any other ideas??  Its stock, stock,
stock.  70K miles.  

Whats weird is that I have no clue where the oil went.  It never leaked
before....
