So got the car's coolant leak fixed, yay. No more leaks, fluids anyway.

Found out my basically brand new 200 dollar battery is dead. I think my trickle charger must of killed it, no idea how but ya, no more leaving stuff on that.

Also, worse, found air leak on the intake manifold. It looks to be coming from the sealing surface between the head and intake mani, we could get the car to stumble by blowing compressed air there, so pretty sure.

I am using one of those MAP pheno-whatever (plastic) intake gaskets. I just had my intake mani ported in between last year and this so my thought is they cleaned up the mating surface and now it doesn't seal the same way it did before.

So, going to probably just order a stock intake gasket and then also a new battery this week and hopefully I can drive it this next weekend, we shall see.

Now just debating on a lithium battery or the pc625 or whatever.
