My front main was leaking and the stealer said, $1500 to remove the motor and do it right or they could try to inject some silicone for $70. No Brainer there. He said the facotory seal is silicone anyway. Well, it has been 2 mo. and over 1000mi. with no leaks. He said it works half the time. Maybe I am the better half
