Your entire comment is based around the "but there are bigger problems" argument.

That's like saying you shouldn't fix your leaking engine, if your brakes don't work.

No.

I'm saying that if you're trying to fix an engine leak, start with the giant hole in the block from the anti-tank round that was fired at point blank at it instead of starting with the leaking gasket.
