Well week in and no more leak,resevoir is maintaining it's level.
Only difference is for the first few turns when cold it's a little heavier on the wheel down to the thickness of the additive.
It will buy me some time,rego to pay end of this month and new tyres also needed ;violin

Thanks,i'll be honest,it still leaks,albeit very little,like not even touching the level in the res after 3 days,but yeah like alot of things with this car it's on hold :lol:
Still contemplating just removing the whole lot,sitting on it for the moment.
Vss has my time now,cleaning got me 2 days,hope the new one's here Thursday.
Also tinkering with the Vss showed a coolant leak just starting from the throttle body feed pipe so just done the bypass,not happy with the little higher idle from it though,got to love weekends and messing with cars ;)
