Where can you jack this car from???????
Guys I am trying to trouble shoot my coolant leak and i need to jack the car up. I have one of those small hydrolic jacks that you slide that jack under the car and then use a handle and go up and down as the jack rises. Now where is there a safe spot to jack the car from? I am sliding the jack through the area between the wheel and the doors rear view mirror, I am trying to put it in the area between the oil pan but for some reason i am having a tough time finding a spot which wont damage the car? any ideas? post some pics please to show me areas i can jack the car underneath, it will be alot easier for me.

I always jack up on the center cross member that goes in front of the oil pan. That's where the shop manual says to jack. If you follow the plastic under-belly pan towards the back of the car, it ends right at this cross member. Its kinda hard to get to with the car completely on the ground, but I can do it with my small hydraulic jack. Sorry, I don't have any pics.

In the interest of safety may I suggest that you invest in a set of steel ramps with the entensions for low clearance vehicles. I have had a set of these for years and they have been worth the price many times over.
