hello guys,
my magna is running great, however it's started to leak power-steering fluid, coolant and oil pretty much at the same time.
i've had the power steering pump replaced -cos it was leaking from there, and some coolant hoses too, but it is now apparent that one the core plugs is leaking and my mechanic says it's 6 hrs labour cos the gearbox has to come out to get to it, even though its a $4 part.

any thoughts from people? my engine has done 192k... i don't feel like spending $450 after getting power steering pump fixed. :-(

If it is the rear plug, get your cheque book out mate, as it is behind the trans.
