As far as the oil leak.. It's either going to be the cam cover seal on the top of the engine sealing the cover for the cam (where it says 2.0 OHC) or it's the oil baffle/oil pan seal. Hopefully it's the cam cover seal because that's not that expensive. The baffle seal is going to cost $100-200. Try tightening the bolts on the oil pan and the cam cover, but first check to see if the gaskets look completely squashed.. If they do, you might just want to replace them, but sometimes the bolts on both of these can become loose.

How many miles are on it? At around 130,000 you might be looking at having to replace the headgasket. I would recommend finding a higher capacity radiator like one out of the v6 sunbirds because it will keep the engine a lot cooler. The 2.0's are good engines as long as they are kept cool. They don't stand well to heat issues. When I called to Performance Radiator here in my area they told me there was one with an added core (means more capacity) and my temps are constantly at 170-180. I also did the cooling fan switch MOD so I can turn my cooling fan on with a switch when Im sitting for a while and when the switch is off the fan functions normally. Check out www.v6z24.com and look under the how-to tab and click on performance. The instructions will be in there.

Ok. Are you going to make one? Or can we move it?
