So, today was the day of reckoning whereby I took my car in for an engine shampoo and an inspection of fluid leaks......it's NOT good. Looks like I'm headed towards a total engine re-seal with more yet...water pump, timing chain etc etc etc. My whole winter's work of setting aside money is blown in 1 visit to garage!!
Here'a a PARTIAL list of fluid leaks (I couldn't write fast enough to get them down as mechanic talked to me over phone)
-Rad, bypass valves and "T's"
Power steering pump and assist
-Timing cover
-Oil pan
-Tranny
and more
Guess that trip to California last summer did some pretty good finishing off of a number of seals and gaskets!!!
And now, i await the wily "head mechanic's" math job. (Insert sad face here!)
