What did you do to your E9 today?

I awoke my car from a four year slumber and found the clutch pedal had no action. The brakes are fine though the fluid reservoir was almost empty. Clearly the clutch slave is leaking. I chose to use the method referred elsewhere here to push the new fluid into the system via the slave bleeder. The port on the bleeder was gunked iup so I had to clean it first and then the rest was a breeze. Now she's ready for a truck ride to Austin and our new
Third Saturday we have cars and coffee in Austin…
 
My oil cap started to leak after removing it for the annual oil & filter change(2500 miles). The cap has been satin chrome plated and is worth saving. I bought gasket material at the local auto shop and cut out a piece to lay over the rubber seal. The oil leak problem is now solved.
I have enough gasket material to make about a thousand of these donuts. If anyone needs a piece, send me a PM. You can have a piece or two for a self-addressed stamped envelope.
