Thank you for the replies. It looks to me like at least the radiator and water pump had recently been replaced. I haven't checked the thermostat yet. I'm hoping to do the pressure test this weekend. While I obviously hope this isn't a fatal problem, I didn't pay much for it and it is slated to be my son's first vehicle next year. I bought it knowing it would need some work but honestly, I come from the aircooled world (old vw's) so the cooling system is new to me. I've included a few pics as that always seems helpful. I'm suspecting the third pic is a pretty major problem? Only including it because I'm wondering if I should even be concerned with the cooling system with this other issue going on, if that makes sense. Anyway, happy Saturday!
