Thanks Jim, my oil cooler lines are aftermarket braided steel lines, the OEM pieces were leaking but already replaced.

It appears that there's a leak from the oil temperature sender, which I had resealed with teflon tape a few months back - and apparently that's not the correct method. The FSM calls for Loctite 565 on these fittings, so I've ordered some of that and will also re-seal the oil cooler fittings with this correct material. The teflon tape does not appear to hold up well to hot oil.

Thanks Sammy, turns out you may be in the right neighborhood. Will update after things are re-sealed!

Daryll, the last 2 times I drove the car, no codes... but yesterday I got a 3-inch long sheet metal screw through a rear tire, so that trip was cut short...

Ouch! I know how that feels. I've lost three 315's over six years to screws going thru the tire.....it just seems like it's the little things that come along every now & again to make our day an enjoyable one!

I hear that lost a few the same way. Those big tires have a big footprint. Let hope everything else is smooth sailing Andrew

Hey VetteMed,

how are you liking that Arc Audio Mini amp? I am looking to swap from my Arc 300.4 to the same one you have, mainly due to space constraints..

what are your opinions on that amp of yours?

Update:

I pulled the plenum once again, to finally get the A/C system up and running. When I pulled the rubber evap vacuum line off of the hard line, I got a handful of black granules. I shook the rubber line, and got a whole bunch more. Turns out the charcoal canister behind the rear wheel took a crap, and sent charcoal all through the line and presumably through the solenoid and into the intake. I'm hoping it didn't score up any cylinder walls too badly.

Jeff, now that I relocated it out of the storage compartment, it's doing well. it was getting entirely too warm in the compartment. However, I'm only 5'9" so I tend to keep my seat somewhat forward, leaving plenty of room for the built-in fan to cool the amp when mounted behind the driver's seat. It's very powerful and clean for its size.
