Oil Consumption is about 1 Qt every 1K to 1.5K miles; has not changed in
some time.

Jim, I'll crawl under it tonight and check...It did get a new exhaust
system about 2 years ago...Center and rear sections, IIRC. And I don't hear
any exhaust leak, either.  My friend has a lift at his house, too, maybe
we'll take a more thorough look this weekend.

Thanks, Jim and Jim. (Jim squared?)
