I had it Day One, but not since. How 'bout a cold winter? Didn't have it all winter :-)

Default Cosmoline? where? why?
Where is cosmoline used on the car, let along oozing from? All I know about cosmoline is that my new rifle came coated in it! I was not aware that it was used on cars.

lucky you! Mine still is oozing. Possibly because mine is outside in the sun and not garaged

Default I have thought about removing the inner fender liners and trying to wash it out with hot water . . .
but I know that is already waaaay too much trouble/effort for you. Let me help you out here . . . the hot water is on the left. lol

Default Larry had a fix but it involves removing the rear wheels I think so it's out of question for you. :P
Good morning Joel.

Default Go to a track event or two in central California in the summer
It will surely accelerate the process. My car is an oozing monster now.
