manifold is cracked right where the center runners(?) meet and the gasket at the conection to the downpipe(?) is shot, i couldn't tell if it was also leaking where it meets the head...
i decided to take it for a drive around the block and the speedo doesn't work(dammit), it feels quicker then a air cooled VW but slower then i think it should be but then again it's an automatic and all the 4g64's and g63b's i've driven weighed less and were manual..... i think the alternator may just be so getting hot becuase it's trying so hard to charge that bad battery...
oil will be drained and examined tomorrow after i stick my ear up to the intake and exhaust to see if i can hear the valvetrain making noise
