Installed the new power steering pump. I regretted being as lazy as I am and convincing myself that I don’t need to put a drain pan underneath because now my shoe is covered in power steering fluid.2 photosView updateClose update

Pretty sure its related to the brakes being seized. Waiting for replacement parts to come in to confirm
high severityopenHarmonic balancer walk/noiseView issueClose issue
After the car runs for maybe about 30 seconds, the crank begins to make a clunking noise. After looking, the harmonic balancer has play while the car is running. Checked the bolts and they are all secure so it could be the balancers rubber is failing?

This was resolved awhile ago but as it stands it appears the root cause was a faulty DME. RIP my wallet buying OEM original gas pedals and aftermarket trying to figure it out.

Had to replace the ABS Module/XDrive module and then correct the VIN in the DME to match.

Welp my gamble of the auction being wrong was bad and the engine was actually locked up. Motor was swapped with a good unit on eBay.
