Its an original engine from the '87 diesel with about 200K on it. Been running fine without anything but regular services for the last 2+ years. leaks a bit of oil as do most of these engines. We're due for a 60K service I think.

I drove about 10miles total (from work, to the emissions testing station and then to my wife's work) at which point I noticed the fluid coming from the escape port behind the R-front wheel. So normal in-city driving, not hot out, no special load.

In the course of these 10 miles I didn't notice the temp peg, so I'm hoping I didn't damage the engine....but then, I wasn't really driving too long.
