After the crankshaft and front mains were replaced, I actually had no leaks for 2 weeks. Now the balance shaft is leaking. Time to stop caring.

Leak ?

Leak what ? From where ?

This little red German bastage better not leak a drop. I spent a TON of money putting new everything in there "while I was in there."

Yes - oil and fuel

My mechanic said the majority was out of the cam box seal - surprised it doesn't sound like anyone else has had the same leak. New front main, cam box, and LR fuel rail / lines, and i'm hoping that's the end of it...for now

You better address the fuel leak before you drive it.

Mine was dry for a bit after I fixed the PS leak, now either my rear main or pan gasket has started to leak (and after only a year after replacing my clutch and rear main). There's a little seepage around the upper balance shaft housing but I wouldn't call that a leak (yet).

OK...I'll tempt fate. Mine was leaking like a siv up front. Had rennlister Phlip do a timing belt, rollers, water pump, etc., etc. and a complete front reseal.

No leaks...for now!

Yup - she's getting all new fuel lines and a new rail (didn't want to take any chances with a cracked rail), and should have her back from the shop early next week
