    Default winfred,

    You got a part number? Seems like cheap insurance at 30 bucks. Is it as easy as it looks?

    no, m50s leak from the vaccum lines comming from the plastic fitting on the valve cover, they rot off from the oil, the big one gets to the airboot after sometimes going through a metal tube by the dipstick, the small one goes to the elbow from the idle control valve
