Default I think my ti might be suicidal

The warning signs are there - a few weeks ago - it hemorrhaged a giant puddle of oil. A couple of weeks ago - snapped off a piece of the radiator. There's rust in the floor and today. coolant temp hit red (distracted by a phone call - dammit). I don't think this car wants to live.

Actually what I suspect is I was having heater - cable issues - so the heater core was closed off when I rehabbed the cooling. I fixed the cable yesterday - and probably introduced an air lock into the system. Hopefully it survives, but by reputation, I don't have a lot of hope that it will. I do have a spare m42 (my ti is a 95). Although if I pull the engine it will be oh so tempting to throw an m50 in there.
