ok. i just heard back from the owner. so according to him, coolant started leaking after the quick oil change placed did a flush.

he says he can no longer work on the car. he gets dizzy when he lies on his back.

I am going to offer $500. you never know. he might just be desperate enough. at that price, even if it is a dud, i can get some money back in scrap.

thanks for all the tips guys.
