Hussam, thanks for the kind words, but the 951's paint is about a 20meter or 120mph job. The PO really hooker her up. Fixing her cosmetic challenges will be some of the last "money pit" moves.

I have the BendPak engine support, a fresh tube of 574, and the Lindsey 3pc xmember... I'm just missing a garage big enough to really tear into her.

I'm a little baffled how it occured also Jess, that's why I checked the bs belt timing. And it DOES leak. I even have a spare Turbo pan.

So, you hit it with brake cleaner and it's coming right from there? Bummer.

I was thinking the OPRV might be loose, maybe the oil cooler housing seal is going - oil is at pressure right above the area where your crack is located.

Here's my ratty engine (which came out last fall) for reference:
