The old diesel GMC van I had used several odd hoses in the EGR system, all very obsolete. The previous owner replaced them with pieces of straight hose and PVC elbows which worked very well. Later in another vehicle I needed to temporarily bypass the heater core and just used a short length of PVC for the short circuit.
Another story: had an aging Dakota and I started noticing a foul, oily smell & I could feel some slight dampness on the carpet just to the right of the transmission hump. I really thought it was freon but the AC worked. Then one day I figured it out: I had one of those old compasses, from the 60's, that I'd mounted to the dash. It was leaking-I always thought it was full of alcohol but it was mineral oil, and stank!
