vida can deep dive and find faults many cheaper scanners can't detect. If you take it to the dealer they will plug it into vida and charge you $150 or 200. Or Use your own laptop and get vida set up on a thumb drive $120 and a JRL cable for $110 from David Leach. Or buy vida all set up on one of his...

I'm hoping that it is my 22 year old reservoir that is leaking as opposed to s...
