    Timing belt was due at 90k, if that breaks, the valves hit the pistons and it destroys the motor. That is about a $400-600 service (replace the waterpump, timing belt, etc). The transmission should be serviced more often then never. At this point, I would probably write off the transmission and run it until it dies. I have noticed at about 100-110k miles the front suspension needs to be rebuilt (tie ... Read More

    It shouldn't be that hard to access the reservoir and pull it out. Sometimes you can epoxy the crack in the plastic jug but that's a 50-50 bet. Sometimes the leak is the gasket around the little electric pump. Best to take it out and test it in the sink.
