I hate those "periods" when everything breaks at the same time or so. On my Cutlass, I had a flat 2 days ago. It was a 1in. screw completely in my rear tire. The Cutlass has been having a "tiny" leak of gas from the tank. You cant even see leaking but you sure can smell it. This morning, as I was picking my suit for my GF's graduation on Friday, I noticed a spot of liquid under the car as I was walking back to the car. COOLANT. Its not the rad, not the hoses. Most likely the water pump..

On the stang, I had that shortcircuit a few days ago that I solved but now I got some problems with the alarm. I dont know what happened but I know its related to that shortcircuit. Sometimes, It will completely stop me from starting the car. Its not even cranking. I'm not even sure if my battery is still good, again because of that electrical problem. The T5 is leaking. I noticed it for a few weeks now but didnt think much of it. Does not appear to be the 2 plugs. Its like there's not enough silicone at one particular place, where 2 pieces bolt together. I still have to fix that thermostat housing. On my chrome one, there's a screw on top. It needed Teflon. I need to go put some shortly. Its not really leaking. On my way back from the meeting yesterday, the LOW COOLANT light appeared. But the coolant is fine. Maybe there's air stuck in the system, because of that screw from the housing. The Air bag light has been on since we put the engine back in the stang. I dont know what this is all about.

By the way Mario, I left a screw at your house, did you find it? Just kidding, figured a little of my humour might cheer you up.

It totally sucks to get these problems. I'm having some short problems on my convertible too. I think its some of the wiring I did, I'm going to make sure everything has its own fuse and a proper ground.

I just noticed that I already scratched the bottom of my front bodykit. 1st ride and 1st scratch of the year. That fu**** gas station.

You see it if you look kinda under the car.

Nobody can fit under there but I sure would kick them.

Now, I found out that I had a loose drain plug on the tranny. I think that problem is solved but I have a new one. As I was under the car, I notice a coolant "drop" hanging from the clutch cable protection box, or whatever you call that. I'm like WTF. I think it might be a headgasket leaking. Please GOD, may it not be that. What else could it be, for the back of the engine on the driver side ?

If I find a flashlight, I'll go inspect right away.

If its a HG leaking, I'm driving to the performance shop, fil my bottle, not even test it and go hammer it with the 150shot on Saturday and sell the car after and buy a VTEC.

If its a leaking HG, I'd take the heads off and replace the gasket. I know its a PITA but you already sunk tons of cash into this, it won't take much more to make everything perfect.

Also, take pics as best you can, and ask on the 94-95 forum. You never know, it might be something else .

the leaking on the passenger side is more than likely one of the Heater Core hoses that go into the firewall... mine was terrible, 5 minute fix though

Ahh...Mario...
Under the front body kit is where most of the show points are given!!! lol...j/k man, dont worry about scratches. Stuff like that will always happen, even if your not a crazy driver. It can be re-painted one day....As long as she runs.......
