During the Health Check last year, I also noticed significant amount of engine oil seepage at the rear bank exhaust bank.

Once again, it’s a Targa model so I have to remove several things before I can even get to the IGN Coil cover.


After deciding on the order of each process, started with the Main Relay service.


This NSX ...
