I know what you're going through, luckily for me the motor is out of the car and a new motor is going in. On the old motor cause there was a leak in the egr setup, all the hot gases melted a lot of stuff in that cramped space of the engine compartment. Although I got all new parts, I don't know how some of its goes back together. So my advice to you is if you got a leak there, fix it quick and fix it good, cause I sure would not want to go back into that cramped area again I were you. Good Luck. -Randy
