Happy Birthday Rich!! 
I got the drain fixed on the turbo the other day, but I haven't driven it enough to see if the turbo seals are gonna seal back up. I still have the HPOP gasket leak. I ordered a new one from Clay, so I'll change that when it gets here and see how it goes from there.

It sucks! Lol
No. You have to basically baby it for 500 miles. And that's city miles, working the clutch. You can't take a 500 mile road trip and be done. Lol

Tell you what. Subject your beloved auto to the abuse my ZF has seen for the last 395k miles... hell just subject it to the last 150k miles of abuse the ZF has taken. It will never happen until you drop big money into your trans. LOL My ZF has never had any need for a rebuild.
