Nah, it was dry the last time I took the air box out, so this is a new development

I was hopeful that QC would be decent since this was built in their Germany plant. So far, apart from the head gasket fiasco, this has been my only issue so far, so I guess it could be worse.

More to the point of the trans fluid, it also took me three dealerships before finding one I can sort of trust for warranty work. The place I bought the car from auto-signed me up for 3,000 mile out-of-pocket oil changes despite a 10,000 mile interval. When I asked about it, the guy responded with "Look, buddy" and it went downhill from there. The second one left the dash 3/4 torn apart while replacing the actuator, but the third has been decent so far.

This is what I'm most worried about. I had a very pleasant purchasing experience from the dealer I bought the car from but they are 300mi from me. I asked around the local ST/RS groups for service recommendation and they pointed me to this one tech/dealer who "hooks it up". Bringing it in next week... we'll see...
