Thanks Roger
No oil in the radiator system. Not even sure she's using much.
Not overheating now, was a slow leak bottom hose clamp replaced.
And won't know if she's still using oil until I get out and I can't do that because I'm down to 1 quart so...PLEASE answer my question.

Here's the oil recommendation thread I made a while ago. I still use Shell Rotella 15w40 in Cecilia. She needs the zinc for those flat tappets.

A quote that has all the goodies:
Shell Rotella has 1400 PPM of Zinc, Valvoline Racing Oil is 1700 PPM, and Chevron Delo all meet the minimum for use with Flat Tappet Cams, and are a cheap alternative for breaking in a motor.

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
