The last mystery leak-

While replacing the leaky clutch reservoir, I set the old one down sideways by my intake manifold. I think some fluid leaked out which I didn't see.. the engine leans back a bit, so I suspect it pooled under the victor jr...

When I went for a drive, it did a really good impression of an oil pan gasket leak.. a bad one. But my oil has UV dye in it and flouresces, this did not. It traveled forwards on the intake flat, down by the alternator bracket, and some dripped down the front, some traveled down the oil pan gasket and down the front of the transmission...

At least I don't need to replace the pan gasket yet ��

-Dave
