    Have you checked the power steering pressure yet? Too low and the engine can blow.

    The only person who even TOUCHED on the main issue....I can't BELIEVE you guys were gonna set the OP up to fail.....

    DO NOT, EVER, mix BLUE with RED blinker fluid!!!

    ONLY use the OEM spec color!!
    THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE!!!

    And that old mechanic's tale about adding "a little washer fluid to blue blinker fluid" to "make your blinkers brighter" is just that, a tale.

    Great way to gum up your filaments.

    I thought the blue fluid makes my blinkers blink blue, and the red fluid makes them blink red. I was going to use red for my right side and blue for my left side. The red should communicate caution as it's the side I have less vision. I didn't know the incompatibility could cause issues.

    Thank you.

    Given the condition of the muffler, that muffler bearing appears to be in great shape. I would attribute that to changing the muffler bearing seals regularly. Good job out of that owner!!!
