Check for the source of the leak and found that there were multiple leaks. The sources of the leaks are from the power steering pressure line, the water pump, and the camshaft oil seals. All components will need to be replaced to repair the problems.
Drain the engine coolant and flush the system in both directions with water to remove sediment. Forward and reverse flush radiator, heater core, heater control valve, and engine block. Remove the vehicles overflow container and wash out debris where necessary, and fill the reservoir to capacity with new engine coolant Remove any components that interfere with the removal of the thermostat housing. Remove the thermostat housing and clean any remaining gasket material from both the water outlet, and sealing surface on the engine. Remove the thermostat from the engine, and clean the mating surface where the thermostat housing is positioned to ensure a proper seal is achieved. Install a new thermostat and gasket and position the thermostat housing back into position. Tighten all hardware to manufacturer specifications and reinstall all previously removed components back to original locations. Top off the cooling system to capacity with specified amount and type of new engine coolant. Run the engine to circulate the coolant checking the freeze point and acidity to insure a proper mixture is in the system. Run the engine to operating temperature and purge air from the system. Install the data scanner and remove any fault codes associated with the thermostat issue. Monitor the data during warm up, and verify that the electric cooling fans are operating within their specified temperature range. Check system for leaks and road test. NOTE: If the system develops an air pocket, the coolant level may decrease slightly causing a warning lamp, and or fluctuations in heat output. If this occurs, the customer should return to have the system topped off.

Remove the four tires from the vehicle, and clean the wheel studs, hub flanges, and the rims centric. Check the vehicles braking system components for wear, remaining brake material, and signs of pending issues. Reinstall the tires onto the vehicle in their best suited locations based on overall wear, torquing all lugs to factory specification. Inflate all tires to the manufacturers suggested pressure, and visually assess the tread for abnormal wear which may indicate a need for a wheel alignment. Reset the vehicles tire pressure monitor sensor locations where required, using the factory approved TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring) system, scan tool. Road test the vehicle and confirm there is no abnormal handling characteristics following the rotation. Note: Some vehicles may have a slight drift following a tire rotation. This is due to a pattern that developes in some tires due to excessive time in one location. This condition should improve as the tread conforms to the new location / alignment angle. If drifting would not improve, sometimes an alignment or a cross rotation is required.

The camshaft tensioner was found to be broken causing it to deflect off of the side of the engine block causing the noise. Fortunately there was no additional damage found and the engine remained in time. See below for repair procedures which include camshaft belt replacement. Following this repair, the next camshaft belt service interval will be in 120,000 miles.

Trans Tech II Transmission machine is a self-contained system which connects directly to the transmission through the transmission cooler lines. The Trans Tech II completely exchanges 100% of the transmissions fluid while removing all internal debris. This cleaning is accomplished using only automatic transmission fluid and no solvents or chemicals which may shorten the transmissions life. The specified type of fluid is exchanged through the vehicles transmission till the unit is completely clean. This service is hands down the best way to replace virtually 100% of the transmissions fluid, without removing the transmission pan which could cause additional internal issues. Modern transmissions do not contain a 'filter', but use a debris screen. This screen is cleaned by the machine performing a back flush procedure to remove trapped debris. In some instances, where paper filters are used, the filter may need to be replaced depending upon the condition of the fluid before the service. Fluid is additional. Filter and pan gasket additional (if required).
Remove front brackets, adjusters, and pulleys necessary to access the accessory belt components. Remove the engines serpentine and or V style drive belts, and clean and lubricate any idlers, pivots, or tensioner assemblies for later reassembly. Clean the pulley grooves to remove built up rubber and debris that will cause premature wear / noise issues with the replacement belt(s). Check all accessories, idlers, and tensioners for bearing deflection. Replace the accessory drive and or serpentine belt(s) and reassemble the removed components. Adjust the drive belts to specification, and run the engine to check for proper operation of the idler and tensioner pulleys. Verify belt deflection and alignment of the engines accessories, and lock all manually adjusted tensioners as required.
