Have a '99 c4 Tip with 215k km ... very good condition ... but has
1. Very Minor Coolant drip from hose top of engine
2. Minor oil weeping left side of engine ... told cam cover
... but still inspection failures
Sending car off for fluid service at Indy anyway .. but thinking go further rather than continuous issues / labour rates
Take the hit ... drop engine ?
1. replace cam cover sealant .... both sides
2. replace spark plug tubes (and plugs)
3. replace AOS and hoses
4. replace oil cooler
5. replace cam solenoid covers
6. replace various coolant hoses or all
7. Water pump, thermostat
Maybe I'm going too far ?
