W72 heal thyself? Sopped up the small amount of coolant that was in the valley between the back of the timing chain cover and the valley pan with the thought in running the car, I could pin point the leak.
Ran it a total of 25 minutes - at idle and at speed - and nothing! No leaks and ran at normal temp. Not sure what happened there, but obviously cautiously optimistic news!
Second pic just after I shut it off this evening and the other, the front end resto in progress - saving the engine color painting/ detailing for next winter.
Thanks for all the direction. A good exercise, as now I know the filling system a bit better, plus now have some extra Fel-pros on hand, just in case.
Next: Pypes x-pipe with their new Turbo Pro’s - already on hand and awaiting installation, which hopefully will be smooth. Will update you all.
