Very slight coolant leak on the driver's side. You can smell the coolant leaking, but it must be dripping on something hot and evaporating. Never any coolant on the ground.

The car has seen seven track days and an autocross, and I've had to add one liter of water. From what I read, a pressurizer is the best way to find these leaks.

Default I haven't found a car that my kit won't work on. Yet. ;-)
Catch me at work(Ferrari), I'll let you take it for a few days.

Default I have one that should work but I'm way over in Annapolis area.
If Mat can't hook you up and you want to arrange something let me know.

Default Thanks for the offers. I forgot about tool loaner programs. I can borrow one for free from
Autozone. This way, I can hold onto it for as long as I need it, and don't need to worry about driving very far.
