84,638 miles with an EVO Supercharger added at 72,xxx miles. Original engine. Recent (84,000 miles) leakdown test revealed 7% to 9% across all cylinders. Not bad, I think.

19,800 miles on 99 C2 (manufactured Nov 98) - one RMS (during previous owner, revealed on service records - prior to 7500 miles). One leak, that was a hole in a hose. No further RMS, ETC.

1999 C4, 72K miles, I just took car to dealerfor oil seepage, does not leak on floor or leave puddle, but I sometimes have a burning oil smell after driving. Dealer says leaking RMS, intermediate seal and spark plug O rings (the triple). I'm driving it and watching it and will deal with it when the original clutch needs replacing. Did some other stuff too, coolant tank, seat belt sensor. Currently all is well.
