So my '02 LC has 297k miles on it... and a few drops in the garage of red coolant. From what I can see, it's coming from the front, near the top, probably part of the coolant intake/water pump assembly.
With that in mind, knowing the amount of work involved... what does everyone recommend for maintenance at this point?
Important Facts:
- Original Radiator
- 2nd timing belt, but at the second change (previous owner) did not replace the water pump. Timing belt changed near 220,000.
- fairly pristine hurdy in all other respects, and mostly stock.
- front diff mount (dog bone?) needs to be replaced as well.
For those that have crossed the mileage mark, or have tackled a radiator and timing belt job at the same time, chime in!
