That doesnt sound like too hard of a fix. Just before it melted, my neighbor was over and we were inspecting the car. I just bought it on Saturday. We were idling the car in the driveway with the hood open trying to pinpoint the location of various noises (bad clutch bearing, head gasket spewing from various cracks, stuck valve, bottom end making bad noises, etc) and we periodically revved it up very high to blow some of the condensated oil out of places in the engine where it wasnt supposed to be and had accumulated (especially after having sat for a very long time).
Thanks for the help, glad to hear that it isnt such an expensive fix.
