In my head I just daydream lately about exchanging my FXIFX Target date fund for FXAIX...

I mean, yes, I am 59, so there is that..needing to be more risk adverse. But holy hell, lately, when FXAIX has a bad day with the S&P 500,...mine with FXIFX is worse. Thanks, no doubt, to the Total International Market cratering at the same.

Bonds the third part of my 3 fund portfolio. Who the hell knows? They are supposed to buffer against drops in equities, but I never could figure out the bond part of my portfolio and how much it actually protects against risk, lol

Okay, I'm done. Thanks for listening.

Water Cooler or Oil Cooler leak

I meant a water pump, of course. Sorry.

Shocking, I know. A coolant leak in a Chevy Sonic. I replaced the thermostat about a month ago. It wasn't leaking. Was throwing a code that the heating element was shot. I thought I was noticing a coolant tank going lower. Replaced the coolant reservoir last weekend.

The leak I can see is by the oil pan onto the ground after shutting the engine off and waiting 5 minutes. Thus is pure coolant. I have a pan, and there is no oil in it.

However, when driving and accelerating, I do notice a burning smell probably coolant or oil hitting the manifold and CAT. I also see a very small bit of oil near the Cat.

There is no oil in the coolant reservoir. 1.8 L 2016.

So my first thought was oil cooler, but since there is no oil mixed into coolant reservoir and the leak on the ground near the oil pan is pure coolant, I am questioning myself and thinking maybe water pump.

What do you think? Appreciate the input!

Kept smelling burning and smoke when driving. Usually after acceleration from a stop. So today I see after parking with a flashlight some smoke and oil hanging around right down there where the red circle is. Oil filter changed last month. Seems to be on correctly and new o ring.My guess is oil cooler gaskets or something with that oil filter housing.

Thoughts? Appreciate it!
