you say:
"This group is not a club for little boys to keep their secrets from the
other little boys."

but you started by saying:
"I am not going to jump through your hoops."

something of a contradictory conundrum is it not? and if you "already
know how to diagnose coolant loss and head gasket leaks" why are you
even here?

so let's start again: what exactly have you done so far? where and what
have you checked?
