2)(Broke a bolt,but got it out,done) New Oil pan with steel bottom
3)(Done) Oil Cooler O Ring - since I will be changing the oil pan,oil filter etc
4)(Done) Transmission filter,fluid etc- Ive done this before, fairly easy
5) (broke the tubing..great)Repairing a vacuum leak correctly- I just put tape over till now....
Air Injection hose
6) (Didnt have time)Front Rotors - Already replaced the pads two weeks ago...might have caliper issue...find out when I get in there..
7)(Done) Clean the motor with engine bright...so I can keep an eye out for any leaks...
8) (done) Aim Headlights
9)(Done) this is why I still have to do a couple more repairs....
While under the car, below the drivers door on the bottom of the car there are round rubber grommetts(WHY), one had fallen out so, the hole had become enlarged(great)....Repaired it with some sheet metal,3 sticks of JB weld,under body rubber spray...

No more oil leaks......
