Finding a hole between water and oil in a block is no small task.
Even if I could, if it has cracked or eroded enough in one spot I
doubt it would be worth trusting post-repair for the effort it would
take to locate the hole and repair it. Bottom line: not feasible and
it needs a new motor.

driving "breezy but reliable" one window Dakota.
oh - come to think of it: on THE VERY DAY the name of the curse was
brought up, I picked up passenger window glass for the Dakota from a
pick & pull. protip: Dakota and Durango aren't interchangeable.
Angles are different, length is off an inch or two, and the regulators
don't match either.
