Good Lord, Peter! I had assumed you'd been hit in the passenger side,

I am going to replace my VP now rather than wait for it to fail since I'm
not sure what kind of oil was used (I doubt it was full synthetic) and then
start the clock running again -
I checked the manual but did not see the section on replacing the VP. There
were instructions with the pump (Fro
