New leaks, any harm in waiting?

[tsbt]

Think this is a leak in my front Intake Manifold/O-ring, look familiar? Also attached another shot of the front of the engine under the rad, looks like a hose, don't think there's oil in it however. Either way hoping I can postpone replacement till the fall, want to do all my hoses/rubber at once, any harm in waiting? Might do a big road trip and i don't want to self distruct  :giggles

It wouldn't be that big of a job to replace the intake manifolds and fuel lines.  And it will run smoother so it's probably worth doing before a long trip.

I would fix it even just for the peace of mind when riding. I'd be thinking about all the time.

Just out of curiosity, what do you think is leaking in pic #2. Are you loosing any coolant?
What you have highlighted in pic #4 part #14 is the coolant tube that connects the engine block to the rad hoses and the motronic water temp sensor.

Just looking at the crud buildup on pic #2, I'm thinking your only issue there is the oil leak from the timing chain cover in front of it.

Or it could just be road grime....

No coolant loss. Timing chain leak hmmm, crap sticks. Guess that's next.

I prefer the road grime theory :yes I'll gunk it and see what happens.

Yes, road grime that sticks to the weeping oil........

Kind of like Air Conditioning work. Where's the leak???? look for the dirt, it sticks to the oil residue from the leak.....
