Ouch, Bryan! I hate that for you! Benzmac just did the 75k on mine the week after Christmas. When I changed oil prior to taking it to him, I noticed my PS pump leaking. He and I discussed it and felt we could wait a little while before tackling the seals, which I know is a problem with 500E pumps.

Now that I hear what you are going through, I am going to keep a MUCH closer eye on the situation.

I hope you get better news from the independent.

Good luck!
