The repairman discovered a leak in the radiator. The top and bottom of the radiator are plastic. Have not yet decided what to do about the leak: repair, replace, or do nothing. We also know that the catalytic converter is about gone, causing exhaust back pressure which cuts mileage and makes the engine run hot---which increases the radiator pressure--which may have caused the radiator to start leaking. |
| 82000 mi | New radiator---new water pump---replace fluids---flush engine---new oil and filter--- clean injectors--- Head gaskets blown. Mechanic added three tubes of sealer to the coolant. |

Not unexpected item to go out at that mileage. |
