Looks like the Left driveshaft outer joint was splashing the grease for quite some time.
The light brown/yellow bits are the grease splashed on the way to my place.

We agreed to carry out R & L driveshaft service this time.
I better order some ATF then.








As mentioned earlier, looks like I'm going to have fun dealing with the completely corroded CAT bolt and nut.
Very likely that I must cut them off although it's not an easy task dealing with the ones at the upper side.













Not easy to see in this photo but the white markings are the traces of coolant leakage at the radiator.
The crystallisation of the coolant seemed to have sealed them off though.

Even after the long-long trip to my place, the lower section was dry with no coolant leakage so for now, I'll re-use this radiator.

Please note that the radiator is a consumable parts, just like the oil filter but at longer life interval.









The front head/valve cover is not lining up with the front mid cover properly.
Probably the mid cover is still the old spec and warped.
Later spec TB mid covers will be installed later.







From the changes of the colour, looks as if the front exh pipe is leaking from the end of flex joint area towards the rear end of the meshed shield section.
Also, I felt tiny amount of air flow around the rear CAT but that could be the air from the flywheel section.
Sounded like leaking but couldn't pin point it.








Addition to the heavily corroded CAT bolt/nut, the heat shield was vibrating and making noise at certain rpm so must be resonating.
Must remove it any way as I can't cut the bolt/nut without removing it.
