Did you let the sealant sit/cure overnight before starting the car?
Bingo!!!!

You may be on to something.

The black all purpose sealant supplied by the dealer comes with precious few directions. States that you shouldn't eat it and that it sets up in 20 minutes. I assumed that meant you could put the vehicle back in service in under a half hour. Guess I was wrong.

Does anyone know the curing time for the Merc supplied sealant?

The suspense was killing me the second time around and I ran the engine after an hour to leak test it.

Thanks for the tip.
