Help!-Detroit shop in New Orleans?
I made it home. I appear to have a leaky injector or something
similar. Indication of a problem was that when I checked my oil
after driving from Memphis to New Orleans (400 mi), my oil level had
actually risen. When I called my mechanic, he told me that leaks in
the fuel system under the valve covers are fairly common on the
8v92. He told me to get an oil change, fill to 'L' on the dipstick,
and check the level every 100 mi. If it rose slowly, I am ok, it it
rose very quickly, I would need to have it addressed on the road lest
I get my oil too far diluted and cause internal damage.

Found 24HR service at a Travel Center America in Slidell, LA, and
got an oil change at 8:00 this morning. Oil level did not rise much
on the drive home. Problem can now be looked at by my mechanic that
I trust.
