    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Send it to a professional.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Go ahead and change the Clutch/PP/TOB and rear main seal while you have the motor out.
    CAS O-Ring, too!

    If you are lucky enough, he may give you back a different car or put your car on weight reduction diet (taking parts off)!

    Wow what a PITA!

    Pulled the Vacuum line.

    Disconected the wiring harness....

    Now I can see the evil leaky hose (Screw driver on the hose)

    Wrestles the hose clip loose and disco the hose....



    Now on to the lower connection.....

    Lower Connection easiest way I found to get to it was to pull the right front wheel and reach in through the wheel well.

    Disco the clip and hose.

    Fish the old hose out throw it on the garage floor and swear at it !

    Now reverse the entire process and install the shinny new parts.....

    Now refill the system and pull out the old pressure tester...

    Pressure the system up!


    Wait about 20 minutes and see if the system holds pressure to make sure there are no more leaks. (Sorry about the glare)


    It is holding pressure so I'm thinking it is fixed.......

    The new clamps were a great plan since they are open with a safety clip on them you move them into position and pull the safety with a set of needle nose pliers and the clip is on!

    Well, I can tell the needle didn't move, but there's no time stamp on the photos and I never heard you from my house

    I'll reserve final judgement until the next autocross.

    I trust you'll carry a shallow dish and a box of Friskies to the next auto-x? Can't let any future coolant leaks get away...
