Well, so much for wishfull thinking. The shop just called me. The AC has a huge leak at the eveperator which requires the dash being pulled out to fix and will cost $900 to fix. He also drained my oil and found more coolant in the oil and sayus the bottom of the oil pan is coated with the milky white gooh. He says new engine time. He can put an engine from Jasper in for $5600. So I'm screwed royally.
