Hey, this one came to me with a billion miles on it...so its bound to have issues.

I am just going to run the shit out of it until it starts blowing out coolant at an alarming rate.

I heart you.

Also, for a temp fix, the best sealent I've found is "irontite". Works surprisingly well, but we all know how "well" any treatment works on a busted coolant seal.
