[Healeys] Oil loss

[Fred Wescoe]

I had a very interesting incident with my Audi A6 turbo.

I started the car a few mornings ago and after about 5 minutes, the
dashboard screen popped up a message saying "Caution reduce your oil
level.  Contact your dealer."   I was somewhat surprised at the message,
thinking someone snuck into my garage overnight and added oil to the
engine.  So, I decided to check the oil level.  After lifting the hood, I
could not find the dipstick for the oil or for the transmission.  I called
the dealer who told me to drive the car very slowly to the dealership.  At
the dealership, the car was examined (electronically I suppose) and I was
told everything was fine.  I was informed that the radar sensors in the
front grill sometimes get too wet and could cause false oil messages.

I was told that my car does not have oil and transmission dipsticks.  It
seems that the computers read everything and flash messages when
something is wrong.

So, check the moisture content of the radar sensors in the front grill of
your Healey if your car gives you an oil level message.

I'm just mentioning,
