So the minor leak shifted to being a major leak. Nearly blew the motor because it lost most of the oil.

Initial inspection appears to show the oil leaking from the front crankshaft seal. The timing belt is dragging oil up from below, so that's the initial diagnosis. I'll be tearing into it later today.

Fortunately, it appears that the job can be handled with the tools I have available, and the parts are inexpensive.

As for the cruise, I kind of expect it to be aggressive when overcoming a 30 mph differential, but I'm noticing this on very slight speed changes. In the other turbo cars I've owned, you can see the boost change as the cruise works, but rarely feel it working as it does in the 740.

Thanks for the tips!
