Besides that, I think there is some kind of vapor that actually directly robs hp, can't remember what the name is but I'm pretty sure it comes from the crank case. Someone correct me if they know.

PITA to fix because I have an oversized radiator so the whole front end had to be removed in order to remove the crank pulley then put a new seal in.
