they leak when they go bad. how old is it?

 

Im not sure how old it is. I have only had the car since September. I have not noticed any leaks and temp has never changed.

 

I wish i got receipts with the car for what was replaced like i do with the cars i sell. I took it to my uncle and he started working on it. I told him to go ahead and but a new water pump if he thinks it needs down. The only thing i noticed was oil and the motor. Im thinking maybe oil got into the opti. The only thing is it cant be leaking to bad because the only time i noticed it leave a spot wad when i had the car jacked up.

 

front and rear seal on the intake manifold is known to leak on these. if you dont get the rvt on right it can slide lose and leak. front seal is easy to change with everything outa the way, also should change the water pump seal. in the new opti take cap off and use thread lock on the rotor screws, known to come lose. also add some rvt to the o ring on the opti cap. i also use electrical grease on the connections on all wires to the opti.

Just got the car back. He only had it since sunday noght so im pretty happy about that. Seems to be fine now. i drove it all the way back from there reving the gears out higher then i did before. I think it is fixed since i didnt even make it half way there when i toke it to him.

Ended up being $220 in parts and $200 in labor. Not bad for me not doing it. Also he replaced one of the front seals. I cant remember exactly what one. i was to nervous to see if it was running now.
