So many problems with my 850 I don't know where to start
Problem #1 Front wheel bearing making awful noise, needs replacement. I would attempt this fix myself, but I don't have the torx tools. Do you car part stores allow you to borrow them?
Problem #2 Heater core is gone. I have a pool of coolant on the floor. It's nasty. I don't want to put anymore coolant in the resovoir.
Problem #3 Check oil lightjust starting coming on tonight. Dip stick is full. If I pull the dip stick out with the engine running, a massive stream of smoke comes out.
Oh what to do, what to do? I sad thing is, I was trying to sell this car. Nobody is going to buy it with the condition that it is in.

Probably not, but you can get a torx set pretty cheap. You can get a good set for less than 20 bucks.

That stinks. But while you're at it, do the evaporator lol.

PCV system needs to be replaced for sure.
Pull the code for the PCV.

i agree i would tackle the pcv system first, it's not too hard but does require taking off the intake manifold and can be time consuming expecially if you are doing it byyourself.
honestly i would never want to replace a heater core again in my life, it was deffinately the hardest job i've done on my 850 (you have to take out the whole entire dash).
none of your problems are really expensive if you are doing it yourself, but definately time consuming
having done both, all i can say is good luck there are allot of write ups on the pcv and heater core replacement that are very helpful
