That sounds right! That is why its not recommended to steam clean engines. It removes all of the sealing road Kurd. Everything with gaskets eventually leaks. Using engine flush is a radical procedure I just use it on old 1/2 life Westies to evaluate if they still have half life or I've bought another parts van.
