Weeping base gaskets.
My evo had 10k on her when I bought it last March.....now has 18.5k. I noticed some very minor weeping at the base toward the end of last season. Just wondering how long I might be able to run without any repair or at what point should it be a major concern? Are they known for getting real bad real quick or is it a progressive thing over time?.......don't want to have a serious problem on a trip. Thanks

Don't worry about it. The only thing it hurts is your pride.

If you were thinking about any up grades then you now have an excuse.
If not then don't worry about it.

Yep, your definitely going need head work and a cam and other stuff to fix that leak before it blows up.
