Thanks for not being a hater. I had it towed to my shop to have them double check the altenator and replace if need be. I was afraid to drive it this morning and take a chance burning up the electrical system if the volatge regulator was bad. If I decde to keep it, you guys in Sarasota will see it for the leaks. It has 140,000 miles..btw..any idea hours would be to do the 160,000 mile time belt service along with every seal in the front end? And if the valve covers are leaking would it make sense to do that at same time or is that a whole nother area?
