So far I have a bad water pump. One of the links in this forum states the following symptoms for this: (all of which I have) "The engine runs ruff at idle, has decreased gas mileage, less power and smells from the exhaust."

I also apparently have a bunch of oil leaks. The shop is going to clean up the oil and run it to try and pinpoint the leaks.

Here's hoping the leaks aren't fatal. I'm definitely not spending 5K on a new/used engine.

837.90 to replace the water pump, belt, tensioner, and a flush/add coolant to the radiator. 497.00 total for parts.

Fair price? I'll go look around the forum more for related information.

No word on the oil leaks yet.
