Well I have found good news in the bad news, the seals on the water pump are shot so its being replaced while he's in there. He also checked my oil, no murkiness or anything so looks like I'm still avoiding the crack of death in the cylinder head.
Also there is a confirmed slight weeping of oil from the rear main seal but he said its so little don't even worry about it just keep an eye on your oil levels. So that's a good thing. Would throwing a bead of silicone around the flange do anything or be worth my time? I know I'd have to clean it up extremely well for it to stick.
Still hoping to get some front recovery points on it and get out for a long trip this year. I still have 5 days to use up before the end of the year. Maybe ill head out in October after my brother and I finish our week long trip down to Pennsylvania.
