The accessory belt on this thing has been a little squeeky on cold startup the last month or so. Finally got it up in the air and took a look, I knew I had a small oil leak back here (likely from the turbo feed but I'm not sure) but it appears as though I let it go a little too long, oil spray everywhere back here and all over the side of the motor, the pullies, belt, etc. Boo.







I sprayed the entire side of the motor down with brake cleaner and scrubbed everything I could and then swapped on a new belt. Squeek gone! I put some miles on it and re-checked it but I can't see the leak anywhere now, motor is bone dry all over. I'll put some more miles on it this weekend for the MitsuStyle fall cruise and check it again when I get back.

Still love this car! Had a serious offer on it and end of the day it made me just want to keep it even more. Blah!
