    Think I'll just keep fixing my leaks. Don' want oil showing up in my coolant on a long cross country trip and contaminate the coolant system. Not that big of a deal to fix. A leak is a leak not acceptable to me.

    I thought I had responded to this thread a week or so ago, but likely didn't touch the submit button. Many years ago with my first 912, it developed a slow leak near the coolant pump. I contacted the then Rotax representatives and was told to add a proportional amount of Bars Leaks which I did and no further problems. I mentioned proportional because of the low coolant quantity relative to what a car typically uses. Not sure if this is still accepted as a fix, but it worked for me for over 900 hours.
