    Leaking Manifold

    Thats what I was thinking. The mechanic was going to drop the engine and basically redo everything except the pistons. Pretty much new engine when I get it back.

He is telling me about $1000 for all that. Does that sound fair? Any one ever have this issue before? Any advise would be...

    Thanks Thermo!! I watched a video on youtube and they said to take off the fan belt and remove the alternator to get to the starter. I thought that was a little bit excessive.

    Rear ABS Sensor

    So I removed the bolt and tried to pry the sensor off and ended braking the sensor. The cap around the magnet is stuck/rusted to the diffrential. Does anyone know what the cost will be to fix that?

    Rear ABS Sensor

    My ABS light came on and Advanced Auto informed me that the code was for the rear ABS sensor. Has anyone ever replaced this? It looks fairly straight forward. Any pointers or instructions?
