I knew I had problems at the taco plate because it was really leaking there. Lots of grime and oil. I suspected a bad o ring, missing bolt crush washer or some one left the paper gasket off. Started to clean off the area when I found lots of RTV under the dirt. I started peeling back the layers and found 1/4 of the case ring was missing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) No damage anywhere to the rest of the case or the motor bar. I am lost as to how this got damaged. The only thing that comes to mind is a floor jack. I guess I will be looking for a new case and doing an overhaul. I just love DAPO's.
