Mk2 GTD with SB engine.
now 230K miles, so the new seal hasn't blown.........yet.
One thing that might have helped it to go, the night before, Plymouth disappeared beneath a total deluge. Deluge is the default weather for Plymouth. So a Plymouth deluge has Noah building boats. Lots of driving through miles of 18" water, sewage, s, h, one, tee, and rags and debris. So can that help dislodge a seal?
