Default Just in time.....

Took my car in for regular oil change and as I pull in to my Indy I get a whiff of coolant!

Reservoir tank has a small crack and dripping fluid. In addition I get a call that the brake booster vacuum line has a crack where it goes from the plastic line to the metal line (sits behind the air intake snorkel).

So lucky me on timing!

Moral of the story...check those tanks and hoses!

Yes!

Luck is the best....

Also took the plunge and had the inner/outer tie rods replaced as getting the front end aligned was starting to get challenging.....and while the car is on the rack, coils, plugs, belt, and filters.

I came in for my $150 oil change and will leave with the decimal moved one position to the right!

All that done for 1500 is a good deal. I plan on doing my coolant tank done next time too even if it's not leaking.

The coolant tank was on my list for August as a preventative....didn't want to have that oh $hit moment at the most inopportune time. Next year I'll do the AOS, shocks, and clutch hopefully as preventative.

Picked up the car and I gotta say the new coils and plugs made a slight but noticeable difference. All plugs were clean and normal. Also the front end feels tighter than before. I'm not the one for imaginary improvements, but this is real.
