17,500 miles I'd be very surprised if it's not a mix of pi** water and sludge in there by now.

A good clean out and replacement oil should take all of 30 minutes and cost you about £10 (if you do it yourself), but I'd look at spending £80 and sorting the springs myself as they are limited as standard ( and I'm being nice about that).

Cheers Mark.
