He's not a shade tree mechanic he has his own shop he runs.

Ok I appreciate it, it's leaking from the bottom of that flange you're describing one of the 2 has got to be it got to be it. It's about the same thing the guy who worked on it said. I don't really want to take it back to him but I'm hoping if he is the one that made the mistake he'll take...

Its leaking from the plenum where you are talking about best I can tell. How dangerous is it to drive can't get it to the shop until Wednesday and have to drive a couple of miles back and forth to work.

I've got antifreeze dripping underneath this flange next to the plug you see in this picture, I just had the head gasket replace and the head machined and 2 weeks later this started. Any ideas what this could be?

I was looking into mounting some speakers maybe some 6x9's 0n my roll bar instead of putting speakers in the factory rear mounting area. There is no bracket for my rear speakers since I have the deluxe model. I was wondering if anybody had any and/or ideas on how I could pull it off.

Ok was it just a small leak in the water pump?

I checked the oil cap, no white around the seal, ran it for a little bit and no rainbow in the radiator and the exhaust doesn't smell any different than normal it has burned a little rich since I bought it. Noticed I have developed an exhaust leak but other than that I can't tell a difference...

I added coolant Friday and it dropped back down to normal, but I haven't really driven it since.

thanks fellas I will check everything out and report back.

The previous owner had the radiator flushed the day that I bought it.

I bought my 85 about 2 months ago and the other day I noticed it was overheating I ended up having to add coolant and it was fine after that, but I went ahead and parked it any way. I didn't notice any of the coolant hoses or the radiator leaking anywhere which makes me fear it is the head or...

Yes it is, that is probably the reason, I guess I'll be running some speaker wire tomorrow.

Something else I noticed is that there aren't enough wires for everything, I am guessing that I will have to run new wires the the rear speakers.

I ordered my brackets today, part of the problem was the previous owner pulled the fuse for the cigarette lighter and the clock hooked that back up so now I am still trying to figure out all of the wiring.

I did my research and couldnt really find the answer I was looking for so, I am planning on selling the wheels and tires the guy had on my 4runner 33x12.50 Super Swampers (Im not sure about the wheels), and running the same size wheel and tire. 15x8 black rocks and 33x12.50 BFG KM2's or Goodyear...
