I'm wit'choo buddy! There's no reason the things HAVE to leak other
than slothfullness (or lack of $$ if they can't DIY) on the part of the
owners. First thing I did after I bought my present B was fix the
leaks. It was OK until I drove it to the last AMGA club meeting in San
Antonio, about a 140 mile round trip. It lost a almost a quart of oil
. I discovered a small puddle on the garage floor the next morning. I
haven't been driving it until I can find and fix the source of the leak.
