Will do fellas! Thanks for the input. I'm hoping its the plugs... it would make the most sense, since nearly ALL of the coolant is going into the pan. If it were a crack on the block/head I don't think it would leak that badly. As for the HG's I think one or both needed to be done regardless... we'll cross that bridge when we get to it though. I'll report back asap!

Looks like something is cracked on my Beloved 4wd Chaser! It'd be a real shame to let this car die now... Its the best car in the snow I've ever had, even with bald tires! the engine still runs great, its just pouring the coolant directly into the oilpan... I'm guessing its the block Poor thing already had some seepage going on before this too, was thinking it was bad HG. I rescued it after it sat for 3 years destined for the crusher the same very month. CCR's prices seem a little steep, especially considering the CAD exchange rate right now. Any suggestions on what options I have? I'm not much of a mechanic but I have access to a shop so long as there's a definitive plan and time frame to work within. 1000 dollar budget MAX to work with too. I saw an 88 Chaser at the wrecker with a blown rad hose, But didn't think it'd be a good candidate since it was likely overheated severely (engine bay was black with coolant and oil residue). I really like how Simple the EA81's are! No ODBI or ODBII BS to deal with... it just works... like my old land cruiser FJ40 I had. :-\
