Default Anyone 100% leak free?

I've been dealing with various leaks for some time now - speedo cable, tranmsission pan, rear seal, power steering, air conditioning, etc, etc. One thing gets fixed and then something else pops up. It seems, even with the best of efforts, I can't get my baby leak free.

At least now I'm down to only one very slight leak, but I got to wondering...

Are any of you totally, absolutely, 100%leak free?

as far as I know I'm leak free after I put my new manifold on and put new seals around the top and a new carb. The only thing that leaks is my windshield but in az that's like 5 times a year I have to worry about it. That and it drinks gas like crazy. I don't lose oil or coolant or anything else for that matter.

You'll get there. It's always like your keeping up with repairs and not actually making progress but it's progress all the same.

after nearly two years of dealing with everything from tranny pan, to rear main, to axle seals, vent tubes, over flow coolent, I can finally say I'm leak free, and my garage floor is loving it. . . . now watch it start leaking inside the car.

I've got a seeping water pump. It's about to get fixed as soon as I can get a free moment on the rack at the shop.

Other than that, I believe I am leak free. My garage floor stays clean even after a day of stretching her out.

Cheers.

Dry as a bone!!! Wooohooo! This comes after a year of a seeping C6. The garage floor is already trashed but at least I am no longer compounding the problem.

Been fighting the same battle - down to a quater size drop of tranny after sitting all week in the garage. I'm changing out the filler tube hoping that's it - but in any case good enough.
