Hey, well I flushed the Lago car out a few times with water after  
doing the timing belt so as to refill with the newer coolant that  
Blau sent with the kit.  I decided to drain the driver's side as it  
was accessible(couldn't see the passenger one, as my jack is acting  
like an Audi, and decided to hemmorage all it's Hydraulic fluid), and  
there didn't appear to be a drain seal on that bolt.  The ETKA show's  
a seal(and a different seal on the passenger one if I'm not  
mistaken).  Just wondering if anyone know's what that seal might be  
made of so I can just find something that works/or if I'm totally  
wrong and there's no seal.  The dealer in Denver did the last belt,  
and guessing they thought it didn't need it(if it was ever there to  
begin with)....Isn't leaking right now, but haven't run the car due  
to Hydraulic hemmoraging issues with the rebuilt PS hoses(more on  
that later)....Sick of draining/fixing leaks on what was a perfectly  
awsome car.  That 5-gallon bucket of Mobil DTE13-M has saved the day  
twice now, and have to drain the hydraulics yet again(totally clean  
fluid at this point).  That Mini Vac tool has been worth every penny  
for sucking out all that hydraulic fluid.  Sincerely, Tom(a few small  
hurdles from driving the Lago car after all these years.....)
