If you don't have AAA

I don't let things go to the point that they break. I can't afford to, everything has to be in good running order all the time - anybody who tracks their cars often will tell you that. I know the service interval for a timing belt is about 50k for example, but I'll be damned if I've ever put more than 20k on one. I change my oil when it's dirty, not at an imaginary mileage point - etc. etc.

My point was that even if you keep up on maintenence, something could still happen. A random little gasket sprung a leak. It's not really a maintenance item.

It's on the piece between where hose 14 and 15 connect on the top, the gasket is between that piece and the throttle body. I know now that I could have bypassed that spot, but that's not the point.

that's not a random gasket - it's quite common leak actually, it tends to cause corrosion on the injector harnes plug under the TB or damage the TPS. Been there, done that.

You're missing the point, lol. But yes, it is common...
