If anyone has advice for my son, could you email him directly - thanks.
Stock motor, probably close to 200,000 on it but he would have to verify
that.  He had a leak of some sort but did not appear to be coolant.

Looks like it was some kind of coolant leak after all. Started steaming
on me at the Corral Hollow stoplight, I limped it home and the overheat
light was flashing by the time I got to Tracy Blvd. Must have blown off
a hose or something... the passenger side axle is covered in fluid with
no perceptible scent. Coolant in recovery bottle is still halfway
between min. and max. mark so I am thinking it is one of the hoses
behind the firewall that leads to the radiator.
