HPX Leaking....

So I guess I didn't tighten it down enough, so concerned with over tourqing it I didn't tighten it enough. Well I hope that was all that was leaking as I've got to travel over 600 miles tomorrow.

I hate when that happens, im going 300 miles tommorrow! I overtighten too much, and never undertighten. My theory on the tightening things is, if i break it by overtightening, i can replace it and i know i broke it right then and there, undertightening on the over hand could leave you in the middle on no where because it just wasnt tight enough.

I wish I could drive 300 miles. I would have to drive from one end of the road to the other and back 3 times to do that on this island.

So I made it and it didn't leak. Turns out I lost about a quart in the first 24 hours till I really noticed. Not a drop since I re-torqued them.
