Runs fine for now. Talked to my neighbor about it, but he didn't have time to test it. I'm just gonna try to take it easy on it, change the plugs out once a year and save up for another
Vehicle.

Money is tight as work is cutting out all overtime and even laying us off next week and the last two weeks of December. I can file for unemployment, but doesn't help much.

So, just dealing with the evap sensor not letting me pump gas well and taking it easy on it.

Other than that, I think I found a radiator leak. I noticed that my coolant was lower even though I just topped off all the fluids. It seems to be leaking towards the bottom at a connection, but I can't confirm without cleaning it all off and checking.

Well, I'm glad you said something. Think I just found a bigger problem. Thanks to you, I caught it before it got bad and left me stranded.

I think my radiator is cracked. The bottom on the driver's side is the first pic, the top driver's side is the close up pic. I could see the crack, it's about 1.5"-2". Fml.....

How expensive is this gonna be....[emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

And should I even drive it?

Because of the cold temp change possibly? It was 61 yesterday and it's 29 already today and getting colder

looks like either the plastic is broken/cracked or the seal is leaking, if you have a real radiator shop in town they can repair it, but it's probably better to just replace it, if you do it yourself about $200 roughly, you can drive it just keep an eye on the coolant level doesn't look like a severe leak

I'll end up taking it to the mechanic, I just am happy it's not 1k expensive.

those look like either the transmission cooler line's or oil cooler lines very typical for them to look like that they seep a little oil nothing really worry about and probably wouldn't even affect the oil level between changes. the oil cooler lines go up the drivers side of the radiator, the transmission cooler lines go up the passenger side.
