When it rains, it pours.. fluids apparently.

So my mech just showed me that my water pump is leaking so I have a big job coming up. I was driving around slow through the city yesterday for a photoshoot and it would squeak on speed bumps. So I get under it to WD40 bushings and start to see more and more leaks. I have oil dripping from a boost line that goes into the intercooler, I'm sure that's a boost leak. Next I find a wet K member on the passenger rear side. My fairly new downpipes even had something cooked on their top side. I think steering, pics attached if anyone is smarter than me. And to add a cherry, my driver side Control Arm Ball Joint has a tear in the boot. I'm pretty sure I have to replace that control arm as a single piece.
Pictures of my torment for your viewing pleasure. Don't overthink the wetness of the ball joint, I sprayed things with WD40.

THat's the SHO quality I remember. Good luck. At least you are good with wrenching. Many of us had to learn to wrench out of ownership necessity.:bonk:
Aha I don't know if I got lucky or what but my 2010 SHO w/ 130,000 HARD miles hasn't leaked a single thing and is 100% dry underneath. I've abused it, both in driving and maintenance. There was a point in my ownership where I honestly just wanted it to **** up just so I could move on to something else. But here I am.

I also have very little seepage, however I live in a very dry climate. Maybe there is correlation?
