Blackstone Labs; Bearing wear has settled back down a bit since last time, and that's a nice find,
particularly considering the slightly longer interval. Other wear metals look good , so, so no worries
in the wear department. Silicon is a little higher than normal, as you predicted. Potassium and
sodium, increased just a bit, though, and this is starting to look more like a slight coolant
leak. We won't call it "positive" just yet...but we're close. if this is a leak, it's probably still too
small to detect on your end, so let's just watch it from here for now.
