I don't have any maintenance records I don't think. I'll check for those few things.

Oddly enough, it runs really nicely. Had I not known it had a bad head gasket, I almost wouldn't have noticed anything. I'll check to see where its leaking.
Yeah, weird, eh? I confirmed mine was leaking several weeks ago, but it still runs great. I suspect it has been leaking for months (years?) and just slowly getting worse. No drivability issues at all, just odd fluctuations in coolant temps and periodically I need to top it off.
