Default Major Milestone Met with my 928!!

Well, after four years, I have finally have an engine that idles perfectly and doesn't leak green or black stuff on my garage floor for a whole 24 hours!! Keeping my fingers crossed for an entire week!

The real question... does the car presently have any oil or coolant in it? When they stop leaking it is time to refill isn't it?

Brad,

Very cool. This is a milestone, congrats!

I've got mine down to the tensioner and a 'weeping' ps hose under the reservoir. It doesn't leave spots on the driveway but I know they're there.

No leaks since I got it 2 years ago. Runs like a Rolex.

I used to have a "R0LEX" until the letters and numbers fell off the face of the damn thing and then got caught in the hands of the watch. Oh yeah... turned my wrist green too.

In a way, my car has been a similar experience, but it has turned the inside of my wallet from green to well... nothing. But I have no regrets.
