A tad earlier than`70, Mordy... A friend has a `69 240Z (I think
it's #215 of the 240Z production run). I don't think the car was a
pre-production car. They probably weren't generally available
until 1970 (I suppose unless you knew someone).

That's not a leak... My car's just marking its territory...
