I cant find the huge post on the oil seal leak on the s/c ....anyway... does anybody know the ending result? Was it the pully? Was it the header? Was it just a few people? ... How was the leak thing finally left?

Blamed on the header but I personally think the 2 proven leaks were from bad installation, a.k.a. the allen bolts.

Yea it seems the allen bolts were over tightened. The leak happend twice from an install of the same mechanic..

I hope thats truely the cause, poor installation.

my car is in the shop...they just finished the clutch and flywheel yesterday and I think they are gonna look at the blower today...they already asked me about 20 different times about the pulley. They have had 3 others come back with problems and they all had a pulley on it. Its also the fact that 2 out of the 3 that I know of have been installed by the same mechanic so who really knows what the cause is.

I guess we will hafta find out...I got the car back, I pulled it from the shop this morning so I can at least have a car to drive around being that its crappy out and I cant take the bike out. Im gonna have them diagnose it maybe tommorow, order the parts if they will cover it, and then just bring the car back in for a few hours so Im not without a car for a few days. Clutch feels amazing btw, but didnt notice an extreme difference with the flywheel yet...I havent gotten on the car though due to the 500 mile break in period for the kevlar.
