So, I have now managed to follow the orange coolant streaks forward from the driver’s side rear oxygen sensor harness all the way to the infamous rear crossover manifold, which is sticky but dry around the heater valve. Over the last 4 years we have added perhaps a pint of the orange coolant, just a few ounces at a time.
Has anyone experienced a catastrophic bursting of this rear manifold? Just trying to make a decision on what to drive next weekend. It does seem to be oozing a bit more now. I did order parts and a lifting bar today. That $60 lifting tool from Amazon that I saw a few months ago for $80 is now $100! Seems like Prime stuff costs more as well.
