[quote=LightSpeed]The plugged vent cap in the bb makes me want to know how old the gear oil was when the leak was first noticed, ie how many miles on the bb without an oil change?
The car was just one week old and had covered a total of 170 miles. Currently the car resides at the supplying dealer awaiting fitment of a new factory BB which is a bit excessive as it probably just needs a seal.
Sound like the oem vent plug was defective and not venting, or it got plugged with manufacturing debris from the bb causing it to plug. Pity.
It seems excessive to change the entire bb just for the front seal unless MMC knows something about a batch of bb that were made wrong.
