The leak appears to be between the pipe coming from the exhaust manifold and
the next pipe which dips down under the car. Theres a kind of joint there,
If it has springs on the bolts, it's probably a moving joint with a beveled
donut in the middle to seal the two pipes
As I said, the bolt that I had to remove was not all that tight. However, with
hardened sockets, they often crack
when a lot of pressure is applied - so who knows - maybe softer was better?

That lasted about a year in Texas, the cops used it as an excuse to pull
over people, and the people were not happy. The legislators learned

No. Just a little Mercedes v. BMW humor.

Probably don't apply to 14 seaters.

A local non-McParts auto parts store had the 10mm XZN I needed for the rear
suspension of the 201. It wasn't a socket, but this turned out to be an
advantage as I didn't have room for a socket on the top of it, and instead used
a gear wrench to tighten it down.
The 603 head used a larger one
I tried a little with vicegrips when last I messed with it but didn't want to
booger the heads. Maybe if I needed to try it again I'd buy a brand new pair of
real vicegrip brand locking pliers...

I don't remember seeing any springs, maybe thats part of the problem...
I'm kind of hoping Rusty or Dr. Fatty will chime in with such a thing they'd
like to sell me. I've got the rest of an order pretty much ready to go (need to
go check my filter stock first though.)

I had to replace the rear hatch struts on my and wagon and had a very
difficult time getting the bolts out of the forward fittings. They
are star bolts and I ended up having to drill them out and use an ez-
out to remove them. Do I have to get replacement bolts from a
dealership?
Thanks,
