Hi there

Thank you very much for replying. It would have taken me a while to dig through all the information on these boards to realize that the stop lever o-ring is probably a culprit! Thank you for the advice. It makes perfect sense to try these first since they are the easiest to get to and replace before starting to get too invasive.

I would suggest fixing those two before looking at anything else. Chances are that's it's just those two making a mess all over the place.

The bottom picture is the power steering cooling line. Looks to be the low pressure one so it should be cheap.
The permatex is on the VCV fresh air intake. Presumably they couldn't find the proper rubber fitting.
