Before luckily I had just slipped the belt on glanced at my table and my elbows were still unopened in the box, my dad was pissed with the amount of dex that spilled on the floor.

Go to Walmart into the storage section. Get a 6" high long storage container that is about 18"-24" by 36". It's the worlds best catch pan. I have two. Use one for transmission service/oil change and one for coolant
I drop stuff. You need the right tools.

to the top, then cap it.
Operating coolant temp of 205 is pretty normal right?

Wow. So it looks like I still get a drip of oil after running. Must be oil pan but I'm not gonna worry about it. Hopefully the LIM gaskets hold up

im sure the lim is fine.
if you have car ramps drive up on them and spray the under side with de greaser then wash it down. park over card board for the next few days so you can trace the leak up, then follow the wet spot up.
you can also ramp it, and spray it down with brake cleaner then wipe it down, and watch it over the next few days too.
P1676 code? Something involving the evap???

you sure its plugged back in? code is for low voltage to the evap purge solenoid, you took that off and put it back on, the one with two vac lines on the back of the sc.
Yea , both lines are plugged in.

the electrical plug i mean lol
theres a plug for it laying back there somewhere if you haven't plugged it back in. map has a plug too.
The plug is red.
On that oil drip. Let it be. Most likely on a 3800, it's the rear engine cover (not rear main seal) and .. to do that cover gasket, you'd have to pull the engine or trans. I say ... let it drip once a day and wipe the pan off when you do oil changes.
Update: Today the low coolant light came on. Not totally sure why, Im hoping its not leaking somewhere and that as Ive been driving it its just been getting spread throughout the engine. I guess I will add what is left of my 50/50 mix and hope for the best
is the rad low? if its full your low coolant sensor is either dirty or dead. unplugging it turns the light off if its full.
I'll take a look once the engine cools. Light has never came on before
the sensor is on the pass side of the rad, its got a clip that holds it in the rad, then it pulls out. you can try cleaning it if the rad is full, dex can make it dirty.
you can see it good with the pass side head light out, at least on my regal i can. thats how i unplugged mine when it lit up full time with full coolant.
Coolant level was low. Filled it back up to the top I still have a little under a half gallon of 50/50 mix remaining so Im not sure if its leaking or what
