Wiggles at the doctor

So, I diagnosed Wiggles with a busted-ass heater core. Not the end of the world, but not a great thing either, for us workin' poor. It explains the sudden burst of stuff on the windshield and the weird dripping/gurgling noises it made when I parked at work - but it doesn't explain the oiliness of the stuff on the windshield. *sigh* That's gonna be the real pain in the ass. I found pools of oil on the intake manifold, too, so there's a major oil leak involved in the fun. Looks like I'm carpooling with Mrs. Switzer for a while.

I did drive it home so I could stick with my usual mechanic. I bought a few gallons of water and had to stop from time to time, let it cool down, and replace the fluid that'd leaked. It took me 3 hours to cover the 35 miles from work to home. Damn it all to hell - worth it to stick with my own mechanic, though.
