I was thinking of doing a coolant flush... I think my power steering is fine though as i replaced it about 20k miles ago.

The ess is only for n52 engines.
If you've never replaced oil filter housing gasket, don't be surprised if you see a leak. If you have oil cooler, there's a gasket for that and also 2 oring gaskets for the oil lines you'll be removing. When was you water pump last replaced? I never, consider that and tstat, and wait to do coolant as part of that job.

My car does have an oil cooler. Those gaskets leak? Never really heard of that.. I'll order the OFHG and add that to the list. Link to any DIY? Quote:
go to Amazon and type in " Dakota Car Odor Bomb " ... Many different scents but i've used the neutral for 5 years now. I order a few and bomb the car every three months. Helps eliminate all odors through the car as well as kill bacteria. I tell everyone to use it and they're all happy afterwords. It's pretty cool to watch too.

The eccentric shaft sensor is know to have its seal/o-ring go bad and get oil into the sensor causing long cranks and not starting. When the valve cover is off should replace sensor as well since all is exposed, just had min done less than 2k miles ago and im at 108k
