Just got the car back from the mechanic....

After leaving the car there and telling him to find any and every problem on the car and fix it, he only found 4 minor things 2 new gaskets and all the belts needed to get replaced and a tensioner pulley. Total cost 325.00 incl. parts.

I coulnt belive how quiet it souned after fixing the problems, no bs it sounds like a new car. now if i can only get it to handle like one.....

Not necessarily, just curious what gaskets were leaking. Exactly what kind of noise was the car making before the fix?
