Starting my first 1K oil change today and while I was under the car I saw some dirt/weepage at the bottom of the "plastic pockets" right behind the rear tire. At first I just thought it was a plugged drain hole. But once I pulled the plastic splitter, I realized there is no drain hole. Water just weeps out. But, there is quite a lot of "storage" as such, like leaves, dirt, gravel, mouse droppings (not yet!
)etc. and while I was there, I figured I'd clean them out. One side was already about 25% full!
Hard part is getting a tiny vacuum hose back in there! Thank goodness I bought the Harbor Freight vacuum hose adapter kit.
I guess it won't rust, but easy way to "Add lightness"!
