Man, those turbo drain gaskets are sneaky. I always replace that gasket as a matter of course now when the turbo's off, even if it looks okay. The heat up there just cooks them until they get hard and stop sealing. Glad you found it, that's a real headache spot.

Yeah, but that baking soda and peroxide can seriously irritate your skin. It might dry out a pimple, but it can also burn the area and leave a red, flaky mark that lasts longer than the zit itself. Been there, done that, and the scar took weeks to fade. A little dab of benzoyl peroxide from the drugstore is cheaper and actually made for your face. Why risk a chemical burn with minty fresh breath?

Burning out after 15 cuts is brutal. Isn't the whole point of a pro tool that it can handle daily use?
