Great Day With First Start

[MaxVmo]

Thanks for all the help. This community has been invaluable. The first start went well today with no leaks! Smiles were all around (except for maybe that one neighbor). I haven’t felt this good in a long time!

Congrats! Always good when it works.
I think I have that same neighbor, but most liked it.

Looked like it was hard to wipe that smile off your face! Now get'r done!

Love that grin followed by seconds of terror while looking for anything that might be wrong/leaking. I remember that feeling well :)

I’m still in that state!

On my third start just checking things I was pretty stoked...until I noticed fluid dripping down the bellhousing and under the car. First thoughts were the hydraulic clutch was leaking. Turns out it was just radiator fluid coming from a port that the manual said to put a rubber cap on and clamp it...yeah that was not sufficient! had me freaking out.

Second start to go. I’m sure I have to follow up on fluids and potential leak areas.
