Those phantom plastic leaks are the worst. It feels less like fixing a truck and more like a really boring magic trick where the leak disappears the second you look at it. Glad you finally tracked it down.

Totally get that "how it goes" feeling. Reminds me of when my old car would just overheat in summer traffic. I'd be stuck there, knowing I just had to wait for it to cool down, no way around it. You just sit and accept the situation for what it is. Some things you can't force, you know?

That sliding motion blake792 mentioned is super specific. Did you feel any vertigo or disorientation when it happened, like your own sense of balance got messed up? That detail could rule out just a cloud or tired eyes.
