If you don't pull the radiator be careful of that nipple on the drivers side upper radiator. It will break off. (Ask me how I know) Rusty Axlerod was with me at the time and showed me how to repair it. (Thank you Rusty)

The signs I had were...... hot and cold no starts, and if I remember right the IPR was in the 70-80's once in a great while. But that was it.

(it seems unlikely, since the leak was 1st so the STC probably just came loose).Yes the rear plate was cracked bad.

Jack, I believe that the VERY sparse intermittent hot/cold no starts was a sign.
As far as the oil, I would say possibly yes. Before the fix, I would get about thre to four oil drops on the ground when parking it at home, and at work after driving.
Now I am only getting one little drop, but ONLY after I park at work after driving, not at home. Weird.....
Mileage to work is just shy of 40 miles.
