My CSR is a POS .. it started making noise this year, I called to get a replacement motor, every shop I called said 3 weeks ouch !! But if you call CSR you can get one right away only cost more money then from Jegs, Summit,Motorstate grr
My water fill neck (csr) is also leaking .. they'd never seen one leak, a buddy has a brand new one leaks same spot, he called .. they had never seen one leak.
When this thing finally goes I will be replacing with a Meziere
