See? You should have listened to us when we told you to keep the 240D! I thought you said you had an emotional attachment to this one?

I guess as long as you or a family member doesn't put diesel in it...

Thinking some more, though... I seem to recall the head tightening procedure as being somewhat complicated. Is there a chance that he just tightened something wrong in the front? If he assigned tightening to Gopher, this seems an even better possibility.

Is it possible that the overfilling caused issues in the first place? Since you were already leaking all over the place with it, could it have caused some slight damage that is now becoming worse?

Edit: If I remember correctly, the procedure goes something like: tighten to X, tighten to Y, tighten a 1/4 turn... and there is a pattern that goes with each one of those stages.
