So Im looking up new rotors and I keep seeing different axle weights for different rotors. How would I know what one to get?

There should be a decal in the drivers door. Either on the door itself or on the door jamb. It will list the front and rear axle along with the engine and transmission and sometimes the VIN of the base van too.

So going through it some more, I can clearly see the bad freeze plug. But the good news is it looks like it's in a fairly easy spot to replace. My new question is, does this look like a bad valve cover gasket? They're fairly covered in old oil, and the filler tube looks like it's out from the valve cover itself.

Probably wouldn't hurt to change the gaskets, and clean 'em up.... I believe that grommet is available as well.
