Digital Endoscope

I've been wanting one for a while for odd projects and the occasional curiosity fix but held off due to price shock. I came across the Teslong model while crusing around Amazon and figured that for the price, it was worth a shot. Not to mention the return policy seems pretty decent. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FF4UXM6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

Overall it's not a bad device though the cable is pretty stiff and it can be a chore to hold 5M worth of cable while scoping something and the fact that you have to have a micro SD card to enable the menu system. With that in mind,  I was able to look at the vent area on my PTU after suspecting that something was leaking...

Not bad at all!  Can we expect pics of pistons and valves next

Decent pics! Found you leak... Kind looks like a boil over to me.

As soon as I find time I plan on scoping the intake / valves.

I don't hammer the car that much and with the extra cooling from the PP package, I'm a little shocked. It definitely is coming from the vent cap. I can only imagine what it would look like after driving on some road course.

Why didn't you just bring it to the dealer to check for leaks/repair?

Curious what year is your car, how many miles, and have you ever swapped out the PTU fluid?  I purchased a 2013 PP hoping to avoid issues with the PTU thanks to the cooling...

I mentioned it last time I took it  in for an oil change. Of course I received the typical "the tech didn't see anything wrong" response.

2013 PP/ 33K miles / negative on the PTU flush/fill but at this rate, it might just end up being a fill (joke)

Thanks!  Well that's depressing.  Do you watch your PTU temp with Torque (or something equivalent)?  I have been monitoring mine and it will heat up pretty quickly if I drive aggressively (especially in sport mode) but I haven't seen anything over 185 and it will actually cool back down a bit if I slow down.  It's very speed dependent as well which is unfortunate since we have a 70 MPH speed limit and I often am traveling 80...

I haven't used Torque to monitor and honestly wouldn't even know how to if it requires custom configs (I'm too lazy to read through the pages of custom PID's/settings everyone has come up with).

Apparently, he didn't "see" because he didn't "look". Ouch ...
