As soon as coolant is put in the coolant container is leak immediately onto the ground from the back of the motor.. Owner assures me it is a plastic hose that these cars are known for...

any help?
Buyer beware . I would run ! Fast !

Only way I would bite would be if he was just about giving it away .

You let it overheat , and that old a car , it would not be worth the cost to repair it .

But , if you are bound and determined , get a bright flashlight and a telescoping mirror .

God bless
