Weird is that I was thinking it was when I was in high boost that maybe got air into the coolant thru the gasket but wasnt even when I was in boost... it was just when I was leaving the track after 2 hours after I ran... hasnt leaked in last two days... think I have to do a compression test to see... but hell that takes 3 hours to get all the crap off so I can check it..
    hopefully its nothing but think its the gasket...

    Big maintenance day today. Replaced both front LCA and Radius Rod's with parts from Pace Performance and BMR Suspension. Installed Pedders Caster kit and moved the endlinks on my BMR Front Swaybar to the most aggressive hole.

    I will say I hate the LCA ball joint, as it is a PITA!!

    Oil change at the dealer. I questioned the quantity after seeing 6 QTS on the receipt. Mechanic and service manager said it took 6 QTS. Parts manager chimed in with the correct answer of 8.
    Another reason for me to start changing my own oil.

    Did a quick vacuum in preparation for this, almost 20 cars so far!!! That's huge for up here.

    Also booked a lapping day for May 24th at Calabogie, and am still trying to decide what to do with myself when I get to Nurburgring this summer. Give advice here ;-)
