I've got an S-10 with about 90,000 + miles on her. And until this last year she's run like a champ. But now I've got two issues.

1. My heater crapped out. ( And this is NO GOOD I live in Seattle WA) I took her in for an oil change and a flush, and it started working again. But then on Thanksgiving it stopped. I can get air, and brief moments of heat.(Then it just blows cold) My Temp gauge dosn't appear to want to go over 115 degrees. ( she usually is warmed up and at 220 with in 10-15 minutes) We added more radiator fluid ( she was a low) but no change. Any ideas?

2. I've got a leaky oil seal. I've tried Lucas oil, and leak stop. any other things I can try. Don't want to pay 1500$ to have my engine pulled just to fix an old seal.

Thank you,

Frozen in the NW.
