Started getting a small wisp of steam from under the hood on the way home yesterday, but no signs of overheating or any major leak. The radiator cap had some white crud built up on it, and looking in the reservoir and radiator, the coolant looks as bright as when I put it in before. I do see some small white flakes floating in it though, might try a flush this weekend.

I think I found the source of clicking sounds from the rear end on my '91. I don't think I'm supposed to be able to wiggle the bolt I've circled by hand. http://i.imgur.com/mEpFj.jpg I'm not really good with suspension work. I thought this was an endlink, but the ones I'm finding are C-shaped, not a straight bolt with some bushings. What am I looking at here?

Changed the oil and ATF, nothing out of the ordinary there. Before I started in on the wiring fixes, I tried to get a couple 'minor' things out of the way, which didn't go as planned. First I tracked down a grinding sound to somewhere on the rear driver side wheel. Went to get the disc off, and as soon as I got the caliber out of the way, one of the pads just crumbled to bits. Blah. Decided to move on. Front passenger wheel has a stripped stud. Got the caliper out of the way and the pads off, but can't for the life of me get the support bracket bolts to budge. Also, not sure if this is normal - I noticed that only the front right and rear left wheels would turn if I put the car in gear. If I gave it some gas in gear, the front left would also turn, but not very fast. The right rear wheel would barely budge. No unusual noise, other than the grinding on the left rear wheel that I mentioned.

Got both valve covers off and cleaned up. Put the new gasket in the passenger side one and put it back on. Figured as long as I have everything out of the way, I'd do plugs & wires too. Going to get the drivers side cover back on tomorrow, along with finishing up the fuel filter and external ATF filter. For now, beer! On that note, does anyone have a part number for the original external filter? I thought I had it wrote down somewhere, but can't find it, and the parts desk at the dealership closed at 1:00

Finally brought the Legacy home again last night, after it's been sitting in snow for most of a week (due to playing musical cars with getting the GF's car repaired). On the drive home, there was a distinct gas smell coming from the vents, and it took forever for it to shift out of 2nd (automatic). I've got it in the garage for now, trying to figure out what to start on and where the gas smell could be coming from.

Had to call a buddy and get a jump last night. The battery died at the gas station less than 2 miles from home. The whole thing has been acting strange lately. Seems like something is drawing too much current somewhere. Wipers run very slowly, headlights dim, radio clicks on/off when braking, and it seems to shift sluggish (automatic). I guess I get to spend the next few days tracking down electric gremlins.
