Lott in Griffin, GA - '77 Spider

[lott001]

Just got my Spider running after it sat for the last four years in my basement. This is my 3rd Spider. The first one I bought many years ago after graduating college. It was stolen out of my parents driveway just before I got married. It was perfect. I bought another one shortly after and had it for several years until I was hit head-on and it was totaled. My daughter was three at the two years old at the time...she is twenty-two now. After doing some mechanical and cosmetic repairs on this one, it runs great but has developed a nasty oil leak on the passenger side somewhere around the exhaust manifold. I was told its the lower exhaust manifold stud near the firewall. I took it out, cleaned it up, added a washer but it still leaks. Any ideas? This is a great site!!

Welcome to the forum! There is a growing contingent of "Atlanta" area owners, so you are joining a good group of fellow "fanatics". Post some pics of your Spider when you get a chance.
