It seems that the under-hood airflow is _toward_ the drive's side headlight. One one of the cars, the oil filter mount gasket was leaking and that was the oil coming out between the hood and fender just above the headlight. The other car trashed piston rings on cylinder #3 before I positivly identified the source - but I suspect it was breather tube related - possibly connected to excess blowby. Can't help with the rest - sorry. *smile -- Philip, nothing but W123s
