Jim, I think the solution has been covered; but no one mentioned that you can make your 15 mile drive without solving the problem.  The oil in the damper only comes into play when you first open the throttle, so it won't damage anything to drive without it.  The engine won't take throttle gracefully, but should run fine as long as you open the throttle slowly enough (or wait for it to pick up after opening it suddenly).
