    Did you let him take a lap in your car? I'd be interested to see what his time would have been in the C4S. Sorry to hear you didn't get his $500, but I would imagine it was a lot of fun trying! -Hugh

    I guess I just wanted to know if it indeed is the head gasket, should I be driving the car until it gets worse or should I address it RIGHT NOW to avoid a head gasket failure and engine failure. If I did not ask in the correct way or did something else wrong in my post (lots of views but no replies, maybe I missed a rule or something), please let me know and I will correct it. Thank you, Hugh

    Just some feedback..... I tried this on my 2001 C2. I loved the pics and the DIY - made me very comfortable trying this. I used a hairdryer to heat the metal in between dry ice applications, and very honestly I was afraid to get the metal too hot so I may not have gotten the metal hot enough. The process did not work for me as well as the OP - I feel like it did improve the dings a bit, so I am pleased that I tried it. However, it did not make them completely go away. I did do repeated applications, so I feel like I did all I could (except getting the metal really, really hot). Your mileage may vary - bottom line is it improved things but did not completely make them disappear. Hope this helps. -Hugh

    I've searched and can't quite find a leak described in the same place. About 5 months ago I had the RMS updated to the new seal and the LNE IMS bearing installed. I took the car in to my indy for another minor issue and upon seeing it they said not to worry about it until it starts dripping on the garage floor. However, I am in the process of finding a new indy, as I am not entirely satisfied with their 996 experience nor their level of professionalism. Anyway, I cleaned up the seeping joint before these photos, so the photos are not the best representation of the actual problem. As of now, there is no oil dripping, and it takes a few weeks for a droplet to even start to form at the lowest point under the seeping. Any ideas? Should I worry? Last, is it something that the indy did or didn't do during the RMS/IMS/Clutch replacement that led to the leak? I am unsure if it is a related or unrelated problem. I would love to be able to take it to them and tell them they are responsible and need to fix it ! (I would think it is unrelated, however - unfortunately). Others have suggested the head gasket - is this something I shoulkd address RIGHT AWAY, or is it something I can monitor while I drive the car? Thank you all for your expertise. Hugh
