Ok, here is the situation after testing it. Regardless of what is in the bowl, a quick flush lowers the water tank by 1/3 and takes 3 minutes to fill. If I hold down the flush handle for a longer time (say 4 seconds) the water in the tank goes down almost to the bottom to and takes 12 minutes...

So holding down the flush handle longer will make it fill slower? That could be the case, as I hold it down longer so all the materials leave the toiler. I showed the plumber the picture of toilet back and he could not see anything obvious. I dont know how long to hold down the handle, do a...

Sometimes my toilet takes 3 minutes to fill the back bowl (urination). But after a dump it takes 12 minutes to fill before shutting off......My plumber says this is not normal, of course, they are booked up for the month of July......Any ideas??? He said it should be the same flush time for all...

EV are not cost effective at this point. We are still many years away when all of us will be driving an EV. Hertz rent a car returned all their fleet EV's because they were not cost effective.

I am having a mechanic at a small garage look at it......he says do not trust Marganthaler because he says he has never seen a gasket causing a leak...and that is the earliest he can look at it....he is backed up with work till then.

Thanks for all the feedback. We will know for sure what is going on in 2 weeks. I got a quart of oil in back seat just in case it starts dripping profusely or oil light comes on. Engine is super quiet when running.

Marganthaler of Minocqua does my oil change and inspection every 6 months. They noticed the leak last week. They did not see anything in Decemeber for that oil change. I have put cardboard under my car in my garage and there is no drip at all on cardboard. None. But I can see some oil like...

I talked with another garage and they are skeptical of the diagnosis. They said just keep eye on oil and keep driving until drops actually are seen on the ground. They said they can look at it for a second opinion in July, because he said he has never seen a "leak" due to a gasket.

This is unbelievable. They called with their extimate. New oil pan gasket - cost $35 LABOR 5.6 hours front timing chain cover gaskey- free LABOR 9,9 hours $2k estimate to fix.............(Marganthaler)

That is ok...too far away.....I will try one more estimate tomorrow at another garage.....

Where at? I am in Minocqua for summer.

The inspection today shows I need one new oil pan gasket. They will call me with estimate tomorrow. I stopped at another garage on way home and they want $1k to install a new oil pan gasket. They said it is not cheap.

They have to replace tie rods for sure, and I will get an estimate of what it will cost to fix the oil issue. Hope it is not a major issue. Next wednesday is the appointment.

I dont know anything about PCV or engines. The mechanic yesterday is a different mechanic than the one that is going to fix it next Wed. I had jiffy lube in minocqua look at it quickly today and they said oil is all over and the source of it could be different things.....but i was all right till...

I stopped by a garage in Rhinelander and the mechanic slid under the car for quick inspection. He could see drips sticking to pieces of the underneath of the car and was able to put his finger on some oil to show me the leak(s). He said it may be a seal and said the car was good to the car...

No, never have had to add oil. No problems with car so far. Bought it used 2 years ago with 90k miles on it. No problems at all and have changed oil and have car inspected every 6 months. Did oil change today at dealer, and was surprised at all the problems they found. And they did the 6...

Went and got my 6 month oil change today and they said there is "oil seeping heavily from front and passenger side of engine, also seeping between engine and transmission", and "driver side cvaxel is seeping", plus new tie rods are needed. The car is a Ford Edge 2014 with 105k miles on it...

The AC was installed today and it works great. Took 7 days from estimate to install and I recommend Badger Heating of Boulder Junction. It also will dehumidify the basement as well when running. I don't understand how rain will not hurt the unit....part of it is under a roof, other part is open...

Never had any mold issues. Humidity guage is at 50 right now. AC will be installed within 2 weeks.

For those of you who have a/c, what does it cost you if you run the A/C for a month straight?
