Nope! I fixed all my leaks. Just about everything leaked on my Vette when I first got it. The only leak I did not fix was the tranny and it seemed to fix its self after driving the car often :) I did buy a new tranny pan and seal just in case it starts leaking again.

mine never leaked but I had everything apart and decided to rebuild the control valve and it leaked like a seave .. I suspect the rebuild kit came w/ crappy parts or there was something missing. it leaked where the 2 halves meet and it was impossible to get leak free... I threw it away as far as I could, it's somewhere in the corner of my shed now. I hope it shrivels up and dies.
