As some of you know; I have been on the search of a mystery leak. I think I found it (with some help :)), and it might be an interesting thread since it seems like a rare ???rebuilt S50??? occurence. Look at the pics.
This is what my engine bay looks like now.
Look between the block and the timing chain cover above where the H2o pump attaches... see that thing that looks like a detaching gasket. Thats what I think it is, and thats what I think caused the leak. Quite mysterious huh? Probably wasnt a HG issue at all.
Close up
So this motor is supposed to have less than 14k on it. Would piston 1 look like this within that mileage? Funny *ahem*Fishy*ahem, cough* thing is, the valves on the head above piston 1 do not look like they have damage from the collision (I will have to post that pic tomorrow since I forgot to take that pic).
More of the piston damage.
input time.
