It doesn't seem to be leaking, engine looks dry and no puddles on the ground. No smoke at all either. Turbo boosts fine, no poor-running issues at all.
I did notice my indy used 10w30 oil (Castrol synthetic) since changing the HG. I had previously used 5w30, and that's what my dealer uses as well.
The car did sit for about 7 months (with weekly starts) before the HG job because I also have a 9-3 convertible which gets run in the spring/summer. But I don't think that would have anything to do with it.
