this car has been through alot. i think i can fix it for dirt cheap. i think it has a chance to see 200,000 but i still have my doubts. the engine fan works intermittently which leads to overheats at stoplights and drive throughs. i also have a head gasket seep that is growing slowly but has not seeped into the engine oil. what is a cheap effective way to seal that without replacing it? My idle is bouncy when not in gear and the car sometimes shuts off. i have had trouble diagnosing that because it is also intermittent but i think it has to do with the overheats. also, can silicone be used as a substitute for an oil pan gasket? please help im running out of ideas.

Options:

Wire the direct from the battery with a toggle switch or an ignition controlled circuit.

Headgasket you can use themagasket to seal it w/o taking the head off.

The oil pan go ahead and use RTV do it right.
