Another area to inspect is the outlet pipe under the front of the supercharger and thermostat housing on the AJ133, which are also subject to leaks.

The car has just under 30kmi. Thanks for the tip, I have not looked with intent, but I will. I removed the outlet pipe connector when I was installing the intake Y pipe and did not notice any sign of leakage. Coolant levels have remained stable too.

I have an appointment at the dealer early next month to address what I suspect to be an issue with the telematics (bad key fob range and abnormal battery drain). I will be sure to get a second inspection from them as well.

I will do you one better:

do the tail lights look different during the day? I think you said they are tinted? Thanks!

MovesLike, can you DM me? I am seeing this car listed for sale currently. I don't think the seller is you, since it seems you sold it last year. The seller is using pics from the car's old BaT auction, triggering my scam sense. The seller isn't answering, but I'm trying to determine if the listing is legit and, if so, how to reach the seller. Thank you!
