Put some brushes in the starter a while back, went back on tight and 
snug.   It displays none of the loud starter-ringgear racket typical 
of the "loose starter syndrome", BTDT.  ;)

Only does this stunt when it's very cold.

I am NOT gonna be draining everything and removing that tank again, 
not in this weather.   First weekend with anything even resembling 
warm weather (relatively speaking) I'm picking up one side of the car 
with a big engine hoist to slosh fuel to one side to uncover the 
leaky spot, wash down with acetone, then it's a silver-dollar size 
piece of fiberglass mat saturated with JB Weld covered up with a 
couple pieces of gaffer tape to keep it all in place til it cures up.

I may hang a hair dryer on it to help things along.    That oughta do 
it...  it better do it.
