I was able to prove the obvious with my latest UP leak. I got the front up on jackstands, removed the heat shield and started it when cold. I was able to see condensation leak out of the UP to header joint. I just had to put the hurt on the two nuts securing that joint and it sealed right up after leaking for almost a year. OEM gasket FTW.

But EQ Tuning donated a Grimspeed gasket to me for that joint for next time it starts leaking since I let all 3 of them crash here last night. Should be better than OEM since it's the same, only thicker.

I've also had a leak from driver side manifold to head that was evident from carbon spraying out on the head.
