Default I dont know what to do

Please read all the way to the end.

So lately my wife has been working a late at her new job and the past couple of months she's been carpooling with a male co-worker. At first I didn't mind as it saves gas and in case she has car trouble or somthing like that, but it seems like they've become a little bit more than friends. You know....the phone calls that hang up, she starts wearing nice clothes to work and talking about him all the time...then abruptly stops leaving an uncomfortable silence.
If I'm out in the garage when she gets home (usually after midnight) he just drops her off and leaves, but if the lights are off in the garage and I'm in the house (they think I'm sleeping) they sit out in the car for about 20 minutes.

I asked her once what they were doing and she said, "Just talking". Whatever!

So, last night I decided to see what's really going on out there. So, I leave the garage door open and turn all the lights off. I go out in the garage and wait. In a few minuts his car pulls into my driveway and as I'm hiding behind the JK the headlights shine through my garage and I see something that I just can't believe.

Looks like I have a drip coming from the back of the valve cover. How long should I let it go before I fix it?

First of all don't jump to conclusions and second ask her how she would feel if it was you doing what she is doing.Then ask her how she think's thing's are going w/ your relationship w/ her and if there are any problems between you.Women need a lot more attention then we can give them sometimes and sometimes they need to get it from other men which i hate to say but is true.Whatever you do keep your cool and do not lose it no matter what the situation turns out to be and do not try to get even w/ her because it will just make matters worse.Good luck.

Damn it man, that sucks, I hate it when that happens, I'm sorry to hear it.

















































































I'd just go ahead and take care of it, not really that hard to pull off a valve cover and replace the gasket.

pour some sand into the engine and let it run for a few min at 7K RPM, the sand will flow into the gasket and seal your leaks!!

You can't let this sort of stuff go on. It will only lead to more heartache in the long run. The longer it goes the worse it's going to get. Trust me, I've been there and it's awful. It will tear you apart. This is the kind of stuff that will drive you crazy. My suggestion is this: fix that now before you have oil all down the motor and all over the floor. Just my 2 cents. Good luck.
