"You should have bought a Toyota..."

Mop up the oil with rags, crawl underneath, look up and look for oil drips and runs. Poke around with your fingers until they get wet, then you know what's leaking. Or drive it until the noise tells you what is leaking.

Thanks, but since I have a bad back I'll have to beg my obese wife to do this for me. I know she'll cop and attitude like so many American gals today, but so what she already controls bank accounts and if I threaten with divorce she'll end up with my only prized possession, my H3. I suppose I have very little to lose. And yes, my next "Hummer" will be the world's most reliable truck - the Toyota Tundra!

Remove the oil filter and oil drain plug.
Drain the winter headlight fluid and replace with summer blend.
Tighten the knudsen valve until the torque meter reads a dollar two eighty.
Then drive it for approximately 40 miles in reverse going forward.

That should just about do it.
