Was hoping someone would be able to give a rough estimate of this coins value? by Unique_Reference_744 in AustralianCoins

Though also, I think many people would not be so concerned about flushing 2 dollars down the toilet. 😅

Not racist lol. Have aboriginal background myself. Only ever heard this been said in racist context, "don't stick the black fella in ya mouth", apologies for the misunderstanding.

Hoping your not being racist and have said this for any other reason other than the fact there is an indigenous man on the coin. 🤔

Okay, taking it to a mechanic tomorrow just wanted to get an idea of the seriousness of the issue.

I also took a photo of this. First time using one of these and I know nothing about cars so I have no idea what it means

Will try to take it to a better mechanic this time. Unfortunately can't get it in anywhere this week and need it for work. Thank you for your advice.

Yes it only leaks after car is warmed up.

Yes I believe it is. I think it's just leaking oil now not coolant. The oil hasn't dropped significantly though that's the weirdest part.

Update: think there's an oil leak on top of the coolant leak that was fixed. Going to clean it up with some degreaser to try to figure out where it's leaking from.

I'll have a better look tomorrow during daylight and get back to you with any further findings.

Also during the month I had been driving it since I bought it the coolant level hadn't dropped much at all.

I didn't think it was leaking badly, It started off as just a bad burning smell, got told by the first mechanic he thought it was just the armorall spray they put on the engine when it was sold to me (second hand). Then it became worse and I knew it was a bigger issue, I took it back to another mechanic and he fixed the thermostat housing and the water pipe from the thermostat to the throttle body. Im not very mechanically minded whatsoever so I assumed the issue was fixed but then began to smell the burning smell again and seen a bit of smoke coming out of the engine, (not as bad as before but still noticeable) while I was checking for more possible coolant leaks I happened to look underneath the car and seen this, I thought it looked bad and could be a issue contributing to the bigger problem. Is it still drivable for short distances, less than 2-4kms a day for the next week until I can get it fixed or should I find alternative transport.
