    Raining coolant

    Be prepared when you remove the intake manifold that you may find more than a gasket issue. My '03 EB had the same leak, but I discovered the gasket is more of a formed O ring seal that sits in a channel molded into the plastic manifold.

    Low oil pressure

    If you continue to have a problem you may want to consider installing an economical mechanical pressure gauge to monitor it.

    Need To Replace My Fuel Tank

    The included photos show one of the vent failures and the plastic welded repairs mentioned earlier. They are rock solid HDPE which is the same material as the original vents.

    Need To Replace My Fuel Tank

    My 2nd gen '03 has the same type of vents that have cracked (both front and rear) and the front one actually leaks raw gas when the tank is more than 2/3 full while parked on a slope.
