"The rear main seals are prone to leaking"
The front one on mine leaked, cheap fix though as long as you get the correct seal to replace with! An hour job tops...

lol, good point. I have an 05 Gallardo and use the front lift a lot, but to get a good look under the front nose, unless it's on a lift, you'd have to be laying on the ground in an awkward position to see underneath.

I think that a 2004 with 6 speed manual is one of the best things around...in general, they get well taken care of and it also gives you some wiggle room money wise to TT it later on.

scanning the computer for codes is pretty important. have the shop do this or you can bring a $50 scanner and plug it in. OBD2 port is under the steer wheel.
