Post Track day - Things to do

So after the track day the car has sat for a little bit. I have since put it back up on jack stands and done some assessment on areas of the car. The suspension looks good. The brakes, well I am missing some brake fluid, outside of that they are great. Leaks, I see leaks at the front and rear of the engine, plus the pesky transmission leak is back. I've got about 4 months to get these squared away.

I am going to tackle this from the front of the car to the rear of the car. This evening I tore apart the front of the engine and it appears I have a few things to do.

  • Cam seals. It appears the exhaust cam seal is leaking
  • Water pump there was a small amount of coolant behind the timing belt cover.
  • Front main seal
  • Upper portion of the lower radiator hose (the only major coolant hose that has not been changed.
  • Reservoir on the master cylinder is leaking. This should be a cheap, quick, and easy fix. 

As far as the transmission leak goes, I know I have a bad output seal, although I do not think this is the source of my leak. I am also going to check the reverse switch for leakage, and the fill plug.

The leak at the rear of engine I suspect is the rear main seal. It does not appear to leak if it is not running. Also, the CAS o-ring has recently been changed, so I suspect this is the culprit.
