Good luck pal.

Grizzly,

I have had a leak that's from the front (not RMS) for the last 6 months or so. It's the valve cover gasket, if I remember right. Not a big deal in any other car, but my mechanic says that it would be about $3k in labor to replace it because of the access issues. Worse, he's never done one before. Worst, it started leaking about 2 months after my warranty ran out. He advised to just let it leak (it's about a drop every few days).

So... my point is that for your car and any others, you should HOPE it's the RMS!!

Timothy -- wow, I inadvertantly stole Urotrash's blueprint! Except I poured some kitty litter on top of it. I had a nice laugh on that thread. It pretty much sums up my state of mind right now...

Bummer on the front seal leak.
