Default Re: New owner, 12,800 miles '91 (long)

Thank you all for the welcome and suggestions!

As stated in my post, my weeping coolant issue seems to have slowed but not stopped with my installation of a missing plenum bolt and torquing the others to spec. It appears that a good long term fix would be to delete the TB coolant hoses and internally plug the coolant passage(s) from the IH(s) up to the plenum, but I'm going to wait a while to gather more experience with the car to assess just how bad this coolant leak continues to be, as well as what else I might want to do when the plenum gets pulled (whether by myself or the recommended Steve @ CFP). (As of now, I'm still waiting for the tires before properly exercising the car.)

One little interesting detail - it appears that someone in the past replaced the L tube on the driver side of the plenum with a T (like on the passenger side) and then blocked one leg of the T. Just looking at it, it does not seem to be a recent "fix". From my understanding of the history of the car, I wouldn't be surprised if this was done at a dealer service dept.
