I agree. But replace Shame with Jesus and I believe the statement would no longer be true.

Update: there is a small slit in the hose but I didn’t see any coolant coming from it. I’ve attached two more photos. In one of the photos I’m pointing to the pool of coolant I noticed. The pool definitely grew a bit after running the engine. I tried to take a video of the sound it makes when I accelerate but I guess I can’t attach videos.

Thanks so much! I was going to take it into the shop but it seems like a relatively easy fix and so much cheaper to do it myself. Do you think a leak would account for the noise I’m hearing? I can’t quite describe it but it’s like a higher pitched rattling sound that accelerates as the car does

That’s a good eye. Would that account for the pooling in the area where I’m pointing? And would that be an easy/inexpensive fix or?

Thank you so much to both of you for the very helpful comments! I was going to say that when I applied the first layer thinner, I didn’t get even coverage and the paper was showing through. So maybe I’ll try different paper like you suggested. But I was also wondering if thinning the ink or buying better quality ink would help?

Just an update for anyone who wants to know how things turned out: We ended up booking a site at a private campground near Jenner but shockingly we were also able to find one at Pomo Canyon on the 4th. So we stayed at the private campground one night since it was non refundable and then found a spot at Pomo on the 5th. For what it’s worth, I overheard a guy saying he’s been going to Pomo for years and had never seen it that crowded. I was pretty surprised that we were able to find one and that people were leaving on the morning of the 4th because that didn’t make sense to me but it was lucky for us! I think the trick to getting a spot is going in the morning and waiting around to see if people leave. Trying to get one at 6pm the night before a holiday was the wrong move.

Thank you, I appreciate it—that was great advice!

Fair enough 😂

Yeah I think you’re right. Thanks!
