Happy New Years

On my newly acquired 2001 3.0 M/T I have to finish the
coolant reservoir do emissions and Plates

I have the parts and equipment for the V8 vacuum pump overhaul.
Along with a new oil pressure sender, and older style plastic hose to the
brake booster.
I have a small, yet annoying oil leak in that area I want to seal up.
I also have a new Peirburg electric water pump that is noisy.
Will do that and do a coolant change.
I also have a new hydraulic reservoir that mists fluid.
My Indy told me that when the reservoir starts to mist or leak, it's a sign that
the internal filter is clogging. Either that, or the cap oring is old.
I tried a new oring, didn't fix it.
