Pickup in C-Springs

[creature]

Anyone in the C-Springs area have the time or interest to check out a rig for me? I have been looking for a pickup for my son to drive. There is one for sale at Go West Autos in Colorado Springs. Its a 1990, manual, 22re, looks in decent shape from the pics and priced accordingly...$4699. Says it has a small leak from the timing chain cover(a guess on the source of the leak) which I know isnt a quick and easy repair if and when it will be needed. Any help appreciated.

Thanks in advance! Dave

(I posted in the Colorado Cruisers section also so if the forum cops think that is the more appropriate place they can delete this one.)

Howdy! The leak from the timing chain cover may actually be the front crank seal. I have seen this a lot on high mileage 22RE's. I have replaced mine twice, second time with a Speedy Sleeve added. Only lasted a year or two before it started wheeping again. It only has 200,000 miles on it. John

Thanks for the input. Sounds like that may be what it is. The dealer wasnt sure and is supposed to get back to me. I forgot to post the link for photos....here it is gowestautos.com

The hail damage in the hood has been repaired.
