What do you mean by that? I'll check for coolant leaks today after work. Or have QPR do a leaktest on it one of these days. I know I have an oil leak around the timing belt side, but if coolant was mixed with it, I wouldnt be able to tell. I go the 190 degree thermostat or somewhere around that and I've never changed the waterpump since I got it and that was at 76,000 (three years ago), now I'm at a little over 108,000.

It's weird, I just found out that if I downshift into second for a couple seconds then it'll shift into 3rd like normal, but if I go straight from 5th or 4th to 3rd it'll only grind.
