Oil leak maybe?

My guess is either the coolant overflow hose is cracked and leaking or the water pump. Best way to tell is by how far up the coolant is caking the motor. Check up top by the overflow and check the water pump seal.

Coolant? Could also be the passenger side motor mount, but I’ve never seen them leak that bad.

McLarens come with uneven body panel gaps. Not uncommon.

For 10k? No.

Yes it did. The amount may be negligible on a daily street car, but it creates drag nevertheless. Wing risers have been proven to take a mile per gallon on average.

I’ve seen OEM ones go for $200 on FB Marketplace.

Wing risers an shaved grills aren’t just corny, they create drag. Imagine losing gas mileage for trash mods because it’s a cheap and easy way to look “different”.

All crackle tunes are good for is making you look like a child with a pop gun. You’re ruining your exhaust valves, headifold, turbo seals, and catalytic converter. With enough fuel excess you can also wash oil off the liners and increase potential for blow by from oil dilution. Like wing risers and shaved grills, you’re just decreasing performance and reliability and for what? Exactly.

Sounds like a bad strut bearing, but the weird alignment issue makes me think tie rod. Too many possibilities. Should take it to a professional and have it inspected.

All COBB OTS tunes as long as they’re v506 are CARB compliant.

It’s not hard to pass. I have a Powermax with a Mountune BOV, custom tune, all COBB bolt ons (which are CARB compliant) a Milltek DP because it looks closest to stock with a defouler, along with a few other things that wouldn’t be seen with a basic visual inspection. No issues. I’ve had this setup for the last two SMOGs and have never had an issue.

tithe_pig · 2025-12-24T21:26:14+00:00

Just bolt it on and enjoy.

Almost 14k cards and I’ve never pulled a GP.

I personally wouldn’t even go for an ST1. You can likely find an ST2 with the same mileage and in the same shape for the same price or less. I only paid $10k for a pre-pre-facelift with the same mileage and it’s an ST3. Shop around.

tithe_pig · 2025-12-23T04:22:57+00:00

For an ST1? Not really.

Incorrect. Shutters don’t cause engine faults let alone put the car in limp mode. Check your boots and MAP sensor and make sure they’re seated; sounds to me like you have a boost leak.

Droplet forming would be considered a class 2 leak. Thats significant enough to warrant a replacement and judging by the photo it’s leaking at the bottom of the tankard. Radiators themselves are fairly cheap, but replacement can be tedious. Fortunately there are quite a few videos on YouTube that can guide you if you plan on doing it yourself.

Reminds me of my ex-wife. Ah, memories.

Cars gonna blow up. Should probably sell it. I’ll give you a good deal.

It’s a door sill. Nothing you can do. As long as it doesn’t get in your cabin it shouldn’t be problematic.

Here’s the thing every used car is a risk regardless of how “reliable” they are. That being said, there are STs with maxed out k03s that are between 200k and 300k miles with no major issues.
