Thanks guys. I'll give the clean and JB Weld a try as soon as I get a little chunk of free time. Dumb question: How does one drain the IP housing? Remove one of the hollow bolts? When I'm done and it's cured, I'm assuming just priming away will fill it back up?

Now the car is leaking coolant fairly profusely from either the head or the t-stat housing (originally I thought it was a core plug but there isn't one in that area that I can see) ... so this is going to be a work in progress ...
