117 C is getting pretty warm, but not really anything
to worry about. Sounds to me like you caught it in
time. Good work! Just make sure you find that leak!

Sounds like maybe they didn't align the mounts
properly. There's a procedure in the Bentley for it.
Basically, you loosen all the mounts, shake the engine
around to settle/align everything, and re-torque.
