Oil Leak:

Well haven't lost any more oil from what I can tell over a few drives. But oil is leaking out of the crankcase vent tube. And I am seeing some oil around the turbo to intake manifold. Which again, seems like it has a large weird gap to it.

Water Leak:

Found a rather hidden HOLE in the car, by the battery tray again. After I cleaned it up, it's bit bigger than a quarter and a little taller. I had fixed a small issue nearby already, but this one was hidden to me upon first inspection.

I actually found it by working my way from the inside of the car out. I ripped out more sound deadening/firewall plastic and found the culprit for the passenger side leak. Once again fairly confident this is the main culprit.

I'm going to take the por-15 + fiberglass cloth route to repair it. I've already cleaned it up all the large rusty pieces and stripped away as much nearby paint as possible. Might take a rotary tool to it to clean it up a bit more. I'll start with patching it from the engine bay side first, applying a single layer of por-15 soaked glass and letting that cure. Then a second layer of the same. Then I will cover the entire area with 3M seam sealer. I'll be doing this outside so I'll fab up a little box and use a heatgun to get it up to temp.

Then from the inside of the car, I will fill the 'void' with glass mat soaked in por-15 and let that cure. Then I'll switch back to glass cloth again and get a nice smooth seal. Then that will get covered with 3M seam sealer.

Hopefully that will solve this issue for a good long time!
