I drive this truck 200 - 500 miles a week to and from work depending on the weather ( drive my C3 or C4 when its nice. ) So I need her tip top running condition.
I am going to assume it was either the warpness of the main body causing the gasket to leak or just the gasket going bad. Thanks to all for your info and advice.
That's FANTASTIC!
Saved yourself $450 and she's on the road.
Happy Motoring
