Leaks drive me crazy.  That is why I could never be a plumber.  Speaking of
leaks, I think the Durango has a slow oil leak in the real seal area.  It
is always tough to tell exactly where I leak is and usually just as
difficult to fix.  

Provided it stays a slow leak, I'm not that concerned about it.

We have one of those roof vents that runs over the majority of the house
and also an attic fan, but it is still super hot up there.  The big
advantage seems to be that these things allow the heat to escape in the
evening hours much easier.
