i'm shooting for the UIM gasket and possible LIM

While I don't have much experience, it looks more like the coolant elbow to me which is easier to change. But from what I've heard about the LIM and UIM, if they haven't been done before it probably better to do the whole works.

have the UIM/LIM ever been done on it that you know of? if not get them done and replace both elbows when ya do

That is the coolant elbow.

the LIM/UIM have not been done. there is no coolent in the oil. we gave it an oil change yesterday.

Easy fix, remove the tensioner and replace the elbows. It'* the O ring that'* leaking. Just make sure you clean up the surface inside the LIM and use a bit of lube on the O ring.

thanks guys. i will replace the O rings on the coolent elbow tomarrow.

I seem to remember the elbows are bout $5 at autozone.
