Oil and lots of coolant right now... I think my water pump seal went today. Waters dripping from from the side where the pump is behind the timing cover.

Mine leaks(ed) engine oil from two locations. The engine is out right now, and should be leak free after the reassembly.

I voted no because if there is any sort of leak when I get my car back there will be hell to pay

For almost 2 whole weeks, NO LEAKS... until the turbo came apart and a bunch of oil "leaked" out into the exhaust. Does that count? ;-)

But a new Super 53 now sits on my work bench... Got work to do!!
