Ok so I spoke to soon - shes a bute but that oil problem wow - my mechanic chnged everything for me when we did the maintenace - he sells them and repairs them and goes to the quilt shows around here - he did it while I waited (I actully left her with him for about 45 min and wnet around the show) Sorry to hear your mechanic didnt change that part... at least its pretty enexpensive... and easy to get

I am going to call her Graciebelle (Gracie after grandma who taught me to sew as a 6yr old) and 'belle' after my special fiend Izy (Issabelle!) who found her on e-bay!!!! Here's a few photos! This is just how she arrived!!
