is taken care of (yes, I also used Ultra-Grey. though I couldn't let it totally set up b/c I had to drive the car home. oh well).
Now just the X-plug leak and the washer-system leak remain. I have an X-plug w/seal in-hand so now I gotta get the drag link socket.

I hate leaks. Can never seem to stay ahead of them.
Even when I fully rebuilt my engine with all new seals and gaskets and everything torqued to proper specs, it started leaking soon after. Minor of course, but annoying.

I asked a really good mechanic to fix some minor oil leaks once because they were annoying me...
His response was "You know, if you put oil or coolant in a glass, they're going to stay there. But if you put them in an engine, they're going to find a way out."
He didn't touch the leaks, and I put another 100K miles on the car and they never got any worse ;-)
