"Please, please, please can I have more oil?"

We slept in Iowa City last night.  This morning the car started making a loud clicking noise.  Checked the oil and it was pretty low.  We must have a leak somewhere.  Bill said that clicking is how you know a Subaru needs oil.  The car was literally begging us for more oil.  The clicking went away after we filled the oil.  We will be checking that at every fill up from now on.
