Depends where the “coolant” is leaking from. You’d be surprised how people rig things. Could be a simple TBH Plate. Mileage wouldn’t scare me or the other stuff. I’d run it and monitor temps. You’ll find out real quick if the engine is in need of HG’s.

$800 what you got to lose. Worst case the scrapers will give you $500 for it dead.

If this is your daily driver I would advise against it. Basically, NO.

If tis is a secondary play toy, why not. Pics of the carnage??
