Yesterday (5/19/12) was the local car show hosted by NC MG Car Club. The event is held about 25 miles from our home and the car made it there and back without issue. The temperature was good, the oil pressure was good, and as my wife said... the engine sounded good.
It did mark its spot (at home and at the show) with about 1/2 teaspoon of oil. I either have a drip from the front cover seal or the front crank seal. Depending on how that goes I may or may not spend time looking for the source.
Regardless, the car made it to the show and my wife was thrilled. She had a great big grin on her face any time someone stopped to look over her car or stopped to ask her questions. It was certainly worth the effort. It was great to see her so happy.
Thanks everyone for your help with advice throughout this process.
