Last week I pulled up behind my Z, and saw wet stuff under the pumpkin. Thought I was lookin' at having to get a new gasket in the rear diff - great

Then I rubbed my finger on the driveway, in the stuff, and got a whiff. Nothing. Water???

Then I saw it drip from the spare shield drain hole. HEAVY rain the day before. But dripping 15 hours later

Then I opened up the gas fill door. It was pooled almost completely over the tank cap. A junebug had gotten in the drain hole.

(tank is full, so there wasn't any tank airspace to cool down and draw that water, I'm hopin' here; I pulled the trigger and ran it for a minute to check)
