that looks nice, now you just have to remember to check it once a week so it doesn't go back to before

 

I also have been putting too much grease in my driveshaft or something. It has been spraying all over. I am wondering how much that is adding to the oil.

 

I did more cleaning under the motor, and it appears to me at this point that the oil pan is leaking. I tightened it down and the oil has decreased. I had assumed the oil/fluid was coming from up top, but maybe it had been pooling on top of the oil pan and blowing up while driving. Maybe not. The Power steering pump appears to be wet, so I will dismantle the front and try to inspect that as well.

My old mechanic used injector hose to go from the radiator to the expansion tank and that is leaking badly. I just could not see it on the ground prior to removing the sound deadener. The OEM hose is on its way from AB. I am thinking some of that fluid and dirt build up has been coolant blowing back. It also would explain the weird calcificaton on the hood liner and valve cover. Also the wetness of the power steering pump.

Now my Window Regulator just went out so time to order that as well.

 

The new radiator to expansion tank hose has cured the coolant leak and I am ecstatic!

 

good to hear

 

You have to love an easy fix you diagnose yourself.
