Hey guys, Im looking at a truck for my lil brother. Its advertised as an 88 (87 actually i think) with a 6.9L and 4spd. 2x4. Says it runs good, but it will leak water into the oil. This is a mechanic shop that told me they pressure tested the system and found out that the timing cover/water pump cover was corroded and leaking into the crankcase.. Is this a legite possibility? And what would we be looking to get it fixed? I have included a link to an auction of what he is talking about i think.

If i decide to get it, I am thinking about electric fanning it while i have it apart. For $550 would this be a good deal? Body is straight and supposedly it runs good minus that problem. Has not been ran since it was discovered.
