Thanks for the suggestions. I'd look in my owners manual as well as the
Haynes/Chilton manuals if I could find them.

I have not checked the IAC nor the Distributor yet. Serp belt, tranny
fluid, coolant fluid all have been changed on schedule. I have not replaced
the hoses yet. Hope to have them last until the spring to change them.
Then maybe change the thermostat out.

The axle fluids is one area that I have neglected for a while. They will
get changed at the next oil change.

I have noticed that I have a very minor oil seepage problem off the
passenger engine block. Is this easily fixable?
