so anyone with an auto car, acquired a cracked tank with the auto and good subframe bushings... all it would take is 1 person to come forward to more or less eliminate the theory.

My original 95 auto developed a crack in the typical spot while it was still an auto with decent condition bushings.
I suspect it’s a manufacturing defect. Every leak I’ve heard of is in the same spot every time. I’d be willing to bet that the plastic gets very thin in the area.
