Well, I talked to a couple of people, including Joe Black.
The consensus is that the oil light did not come on so there was pressure, that's good. I did not run it in the morning with the indicator. I will recheck the level with it cold.
I called CarMax and reamed them about them supossedly checking the vehicles, and they were very sorry and were ready to give me info for a wrecker.
The squeak or chirp from one of the pullies has disapeared.
It basically sucked to see a puddle of oil under the VX.
I WAS at Autozone and got aluminum blackened valve covers for the tire stems, 2 were MIA.
CarMax has an Ebony 99 VX with 26K (mine 52K) for $1700 more....hmmmm.
