OK, here's the weird thing. After receiving the Bars suggestion I went
out and bought some. This was Friday I believe. I've been waiting for
it to leak out enough to pour in the Bars. The leak appears to have
stopped!?!? No telltale drips on the underside of the head/engine. No
puddle or wet spot on the ground. Nothing. Odd.
