Sloppy Work from Dealer
So I'm replacing the AOS. I tried taking the intake off but couldn't get the last bolt, so I took the AOS off from the back. After it was off I figure it would be easier to reinstall and hook up the hoses with the intake off and I can easily get that last bolt, so I take the intake off and what do I find?

I guess this has been leaking since they replaced the vacuum reservoir a couple of years ago. I'll have to replace the rubber union that was damaged when they cinched down the clamp.
I was going to just install the AOS and be done. Glad I decided to remove the intake.

That's nothing. When I had the clutch replaced in my C4S, my mechanic had to fix three broken/crossthreaded bolts he came across when removing the transmission. The only other time any of those parts had been removed? When the first clutch was replaced by the dealer...
