  1. I don't smell it unless the fan is blowing. The smell is as strong as the blower speed. (More air =stronger smell) No open windows, and hatch seal looks good. Plus, the exhaust sounds good, no audible leaks. I won't have a chance to inspect it until tomorrow.

  2. Thanks for the info folks! It has 212,000 miles. For now I don't have the means to work on it myself. I'm gonna try some additives first and see where that gets me. I bought it to get through the winter or until I bought a truck, but plans have changed and I think I'm going to be staying here for a while so it might be a more permanent vehicle. Either that or I'll sell my other vehicles and go into debt for a descent one. I'll post with results soon!

  3. Its not a header leak, it's metal on metal, and its definitely not a bearing. Oil is seeping from the service port and there is air pushing out like a valve is not closing all the way. The ticking is coming from what I think is the head on the passenger side of the vehicle. I put some motor honey in her and the noise was almost completely subdued for a few days, but then returned. A friend thinks the oil pump is going because the noise quiets down every once in a while after the engine reaches operating temp, though the Guage reads good pressure.
