Default 'Safety' inspection?

I noticed my Honda was dripping a little oil a couple weeks ago. I
just topped it up and went on with my life. The next day it pumped out
2 quarts in 2 miles leaving a trail up into my driveway. I looked and
it was leaking around the oil filter housing. I fooled with it for a
few minutes and decided laying under a car with oil dripping in my
face was not what I wanted to do. This Honda is miserable to work on.
Harry will be happy, I paid the man.Â* The filter base itself was bad.
On a lift, replacing it was trivial but under the car, not so much.


Hey, I change the spark plug on my chain saw every few years!
I don't sharpen the chain, though. I have two chains. When the one on
the saw gets dull, I swap it out with the other one, the one that I have
sharpened. Then I drop the dull chain off to get sharpened. I don't see
the problem in doing "the bizyness" with honest, local tradespeople.
