[s-cars] X-Plug BTDT. It still leaks

[Robert Rossato]

FWIW, I had mine replaced with a ZF factory rebuild under warranty ($750
for a rebuilt unit!! - glad I didn't pay it), and a little over a year
later it started leaking at the X-plug.  It may be hopeless.  If I ever
decide to replace the seal I may just weld the sucker shut ;-)
