but yeah sucks when your stoked on a purchase and you find stuff like that. makes you want to go back and show them...then slap em.

Drained oil, coolant, powersteering fluid, trans fluid, removed front bumber, headlights and pulled the engine out.

I have a small oil leak somewhere I have to track down, so I will be replacing most seals and gaskets.
