Hello, I hope everyone's having a wonderful weekend. Last night I finally finished up a dozen or so projects, including a top end refresh. I got the last bits bolted up and to my relief she fired right up. I was checking for leaks etc. when I spied fluid on the floor. I shut the motor down and found it was coming from the pass. side rear of the motor. Today I puled the intercooler off and found that the source was the fuel cooler. It seems a NOS adjustable fuel press. reg. has been rubbing for a while, to the point that the copper jacket of the cooler now has a hole worn into the side. In a big way I count my lucky stars, NO FIRE, I was at home, and the car's already on stands. I was looking at 928 INTL site and they show used coolers for $100.00 and new for $566.00. Is there a reason not to use a used unit.
Thanks, Brian

Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

Brian - having trouble replying to your email - check your PMs.
FWIW, you might want to add some TorqueRings as a side dish since you have the intake partially disassembled, anyway.![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Ken you are a SUPERHERO! I got the cooler today and she bolted right in. Now I can say I've got a Porkensioner in the front, Porken Torque rings in the middle, and now a Porkooler in the rear of the motor! You got me coming and going!!
