Lance,
Congratulations on your new ST. I posted a message about my (possibly) leaky
oil cooler a little while back. Per Eric's suggestion I cleaned it - only for
it to gunk up again. I showed it to the dealer - their reponse 'Yep, looks like
a leak.'. The mechanic tried to retighten the bolts while I waited. Nothing
loose there. I'll be dropping it off next Saturday for them to take a closer
look and replace the crankcase bolts while they are at it.
I'll post any new developments.
Oliver
