Oil loss in my red 7m na

Just took it to town it's like 100 degrees out. I used the AC checked the oil while in town it was still full. Pulled out of parking lot went back and inspected where car was while I was in the store, no drips that I saw.

Car got a little hot on the way back shut off the AC till I got back on open road and used the AC on high all the way home with no overheat. I had replaced my lower radiator hose. That is how I got air back in it again. Not sure it is uncommon for a car to overheat in 100 degree heat with high humidity when using the AC on full HIGH.

I am letting it cool down now will pop the radiator and burp and fill it again.

Are any of you able to run AC on high through town driving for over an hour without overheating? Just curious. Its so Hot outside the car is having trouble cooling the cab even though my AC is very cold.

My center vents won't blow air. I think I heard that said before what causes the center vents over the radio not to pass any air? the outside ones left and right blow fine. No blue smoke, the inside of my exhaust cannon appears to be a brownish burnt dust tan instead of heavily black and sooty like you would expect if I was burning oil.

I resealed my oil plugs and replaced my valve cover gaskets back when I did all the work, they appear not to be leaking,
The front crank seal when removed was rotted and cracking I would fully expect it likely that the rear main seal might be doing the same. The clutch does not slip but however it has felt strange a few times like it didn't return back up to the height it should.

Then there is the outside chance that someone drained my car of fluid to mess me up, but that is pretty far fetched, then again my ex did slice all my tires once.....

PRETTY FREAKING HOT AYE?

OH Yeah I almost forgot. My Gas guage light went out. Bulb failure I would guess. Not a big deal but certainly not what I want. I can only imagine what a pain in the ass it must be to replace a dash bulb. Has anyone done that yet?
