there is a large coolant leak in my car, is there any common areas on second gens where leaks like this happen? i really don't want to have to bring it to the shop again and pay another 200$ to have it fixed

Heater hose under the oil filter pedestal.
The small coolant line from the top of the rear housing up to the TB.
Erosion - right through the back wall of the water pump housing.
Hair line crack in the plastic thermostat neck.
Hair line crack in the plastic upper radiator tank.
Radiator tank-to-core seal.
Yes, I have had them all.
Why do I still like this car??
