really hoping that i don't have the car long enough to have to do that.

i do baby the car, in general, so i'm not really sure it would really get to be a serious issue either.

I am not particularly hard on my car off the line. Granted, it did see a couple days use at the autocross track, but that wasn't particularly hard off the line either. Regardless, it's apparently leaking. Only a matter of time . . .

Babying the car only delays the inevitable. The specced a part that can't handle the engine's torque . . . if you drive it at all, it's going to fail sooner or later.
