Default crack in plastic water neck on head = pink delight!

it was hot and pregger wife not good time to self-work on car. The repair cost about $135 there was a crack on the inside of the water neck (on firewall side of head). It was hard to see the crack. very odd. Anyways slow leak. fixed with new neck, more pink coolant, and got the oil changed and new battery (10/01 delivery, its bout time!). new green CTS too. car runs better. i think the air trapped there was causing the cts to read wonky as well.

Default coolant temp sensor - suggest replacing $16 neck and $6 green cts when you do timing belt

it's a small price to pay to not have this common leak source.
