I and a 42 single mom and to save some money, I've started to learn how to do my own car work.... (Learned all of it off YouTube). Ive got the basics down... breaks and oil. Even replaced entire suspension... cv axel, tie rods and all. But I think I got in over my head on this one.
At 1st thought it was the engine coolant mount that was leaking coolant. When taking off, realized it was really the heater hose underneath. It just crumbled in my hands. I got hose replaced, but this mount is kicking my ass. Broke the original one taking it off, so no choice but to put new one on.... and I broke one of the bolts off that go into engine. Its in a spot where my drill won't fit (bottom back bolt) to use my extraction kit. Its flush witb engine, so can't get vice grips on. Thought maybe it won't leak, but i knew better. Wtf do i do??
