Pull a fraud job to get a fix....
If I saw a gasket leak come back on a Job looking like that, I would

As you know, it should be dry.
I would wipe it clean, then drive through a mud puddle. When the dirty
water dries, any leaks will be immediately evident for the next inspection.

great idea Mike. I think I'm just gonna clean it up really good and
wait a few days. If it comes back, I'm taking it in. I dont see why
the guy asked me if it was dripping. I mean, if there's a leak, there
has to be drips. Just because they're slow and I dont see them doesnt
mean they're not there.

great idea Mike. I think I'm just gonna clean it up really good and
wait a few days. If it comes back, I'm taking it in. I dont see why
the guy asked me if it was dripping. I mean, if there's a leak, there
has to be drips. Just because they're slow and I dont see them doesnt
mean they're not there.
