Symptoms
You can expect the oil to become abnormally dirty just before the side seals blow. I know!!!! I can atest to the fact that it doen't take long for the engine to go after the first symptoms.

This is depressing. If anything, I'd like a little bit of reliability but then again, what can you expect from a 15+ year old car.
My car has been bucking unexpectedly at light loads. It would happen once then nothing for a while. Just recently, it bucked three times consceutively. The car is now parked until I either rebuild it or replace it this winter.
On top of the bucking, hunting idle and fuel leaks abound. This car will need a lot of work. Oh, well.
