TriX5 is on a distinguished road
Pile of parts is getting bigger

Radiator is out and one of the side boxes is leaking ever so slightly, some traces of coolant on the side. The power steering reservoir is out, not sure why it sweats oil or if the cap is leaking.

I just have to decide which of the AC lines to disconnect. Are they sealed by a rubber element or some other magical compound? Anyone had these apart?

I undid most of the electrical connections on the front of the engine, just have to do the A/C control, the starter motor line and the oil level wire. Undid the fuel line but need to do the vacuum hose for the brakes and 12V main cable. Once I un-clip the plug controllers then I can lift the fuel rail and electrical boxes off. Once I get the coolant hoses on the back off and the steering shaft apart then the top end is done.

On the bottom I have to take the rear drive shaft off and take the wiring harness off then unbolt the transmission carrier.

Every time I think I have more time for this I get distracted by travel for work but still advancing a bit more this weekend. October should be quieter and more time for this project.
