Looking at the EPC that is my guess too. Can they just start leaking? Or is it a sign of some other issue? It looks like the only way to get to it is to take off the IP. I can see the leak, even get a probing stick onto the port, but it is way too tight in there to be able to manipulate much. If I have the car or engine lifted up will it be more accessible? Is there some kind of plug I could use that you don't have to hammer in? How much time would it take a normal hobbyist to R&R the IP from a 603? (I figure it will take me double. :) Anything I need to know about before or after doing it? Will I need to replace more than seals? Any idea how much it might be to shop it out? Labor rate is pushing $90/hr., but I know of one fellow who supposedly is pretty good. Since the heat doesn't work in the 300D - and I'm not sure the carseat will fit very nicely - I'd really like to get this fixed. If it doesn't take more than a couple days I can work on it over the weekend.
