Exclamation Water leak under supercharger, SC coming off!! :(

Hi,

I have a 2007 XKR, 150,000 miles. It over heated and steamed up, threw out all its water, at the traffics lights last Saturday. After a pressure test, the mechanics said it was a pipe under the supercharger. This seems quite common, valley pipe?

Whilst the supercharger is off, is there anything else I should get changed? also, what seals should I look at replacing when the SC is going back on?

Thanks in advance,

Was it a hose in the V and/or which hose was it and how did you get to it?

My local dealer in Virginia had an '07 XKR coupe come in on a trade last month with 155K miles on it. It was in beautiful shape; light blue frost with a caramel interior. She traded it for a new F-Type and I believe she got the R-S version. They put a price tag of $18,995 on it and sold it within a week.
