I recently purchased a 98 Expresso for my daughter. Several things I have questions on.

1. The cooling fan will not stop running. It drains the battery down and then you have to jump the car. I pulled the fuse for now. The engines does not appear to be getting too hot. Its cooler now in New England. Is this something that a backyard mechanic can do?

2. I have an oil leak from what appears to be the drivers side near the cam covers. I think I read somewhere that there is a sensor for the cams that may leak. Is this easy to change?

3. I changed the front brakes, pads and rotors. That was pretty easy. When I got to the rear, I cannot seem to get the drums off. Any suggesitons on how to get them off and then what am I in for if they are frozen on?

Thanks for any help.

Cam sensor sel poss...The cooling fan is the relay, back off the adjusters on the rear brakes
