Is it just me but I see that engine leaking again from the front Steam pipe. For the first year it leaked out both cylinders because they didn't do the piston rings on the front set since you're up there all the time maybe you could tell us if there's some other leaky problem they told us that's why it was down for a few months to re do the front cylinders

I asked the CMO about the leak. I should have wrote down what he explained to me! They were planning on taking another crack at it the next morning.

Is that a Ps-4 whistle?

[@steamfan]

Yes. That's what I have been told.
