Greetings:

Just replaced my thermostat and feeling almost cavalier, looking to my next repair on my 96 850 which I've only owned for about 7 months....looking for ideas from the group as to what would be most important to tackle next.

1-I have a very persistent oil leak, which I believe is the rear seal. I don't think this is a great DIY project for a car I need to dry everyday. However, I read so mu about cleaning the oil trap, would this be a good next project?

2-The timing belt is original, are there warning signs before it breaks? Would you change this out now?

Basically, what would you fix next if you sort of had the time, but not the money?

Thanks
