Finished all the oil changes this weekend.  Put the synthetic in my car and
regular oil in the truck and my daughter's car.  

I also used the UV light to try and find the A/C leak and I might have
located it.  I did see one connection that had a good deal of
"glow" around a fitting. It is located off the compressor / hose
that runs to near the radiator.  There is a fitting that couples that A/C
line to another A/C line that runs somewhere near the radiator.  There is
stuff and a glow around where they meet.  So far, that was all I could
find.

I did notice my driver's side CV axle is starting to throw some grease on
the inner boot.  That axle has been replaced before, too.  Must have been a
bad part.  

Not sure if I want to try to replace that CV axle myself or take it
somewhere. I will buy the part either way.  I know I can remove it from the
wheel bearing side, but not sure how to do the side that goes in the
transmission.  That makes me a bit nervous.

It isn't a major problem yet, but it is on my radar now..
