It is possible that it has turned over, though I'm not a 100% sure on it.
I noticed once after I parked it a few weeks ago that there were a couple of drips coming from the master cylinder. Though, I've only seen this once. If it does need to be replaced, that isn't real expensive. I know that the rest of the brake system had been replaced at a prior point including the brake rubber lines, calipers, etc. In a few weeks, I do have plans to have the master cylinder pressure checked to see if it is does need to be replaced, though it might just need to have something tightend on it.
The rear main seal has been replaced along with the gaskets, valve springs, valve seals, etc. The exhaust manifold gaskets have been replaced as well.
I haven't seen any power steering fluid leaks. The PO did replace the entire power steering system cause it was leaking.
That is just some of the maintenance that has been done in the past few years.
From what I can tell, I've only seen the master cylinder leak some drops once after I parked it. So it is possible that this needs to be replaced, and you can get them cheap at autozone, etc.
The only things that I know that would need to be replaced is the power antenna motor. The antenna stays up all of the time, and I'm guessing the motor or something has gone out on it. I've never really bothered replacing it.
The other thing is the washer system needs checked. When you first fill it up all of the way, it will squirt when you turn it on, but after a while it doesn't squirt anymore even though the bucket is still full. I haven't gotten this checked out because I only drive it on the weekends. It could just need a filter replacement or something, though I'm not sure.
These three things are the only things I know of that need either replaced, or fixed. Everything else works.
There is alot of other stuff that has been done as mentioned in my first post of this thread.
Any more questions, don't be afraid to ask. I'll let whoever come look at it who wants to look at it. My best day is Sunday and possibly Saturday, cause sometimes I have to work on Saturday. But if you wanted to look at it on Saturday, it would have to be the morning time.
thanks
Oh yeah, I just recently put on some $30 AC Delco gold wipers. I've got plans this weekend to replace the spark plugs and V-belts. I just recently replaced the coil, cap, rotor, fuel filter, and PCV valve. So, a good tuneup has been done to it.
