you cant tell in those pictures, but i have found the entry point

that is the basement floor you're seeing
i stuck my head in the wall and was able to see water seeping down the wall

so i punched another hole in the wall up above the cupboards and you can tell where there is some PVC plumbing exiting the foundation wall there
i think the inspection date is 1987
i dont know if the pipe itself is leaking, or if there is ground water coming in from hole in the wall

im at the point where i've done my part, now it is up to a professional to finish it
(ill toss up some more pics when i get a moment)
 
No, but when I flush I can hear/feel it running through the big pipe on the left
 
It was last pumped in July 2020, so I should still have 3 or 4 year till its full

And the rain hasn't been too bad here

Good I’ve seen the fibreglass ones float after they’ve been pumped and a heavy rain comes. If the pipes are ok what I would try would be stone veneer mortar You can get it at most lumber yards it has an epoxy type glue in it. Chip out as much as you can use air compressor to blow all loose concrete and dust if concrete is damp good if it is bone dry squirt a little water on it. Then mix according to instructions on bag and forcefully Chuck, throw it in to the area, then with a small pointing trowel smear it to all sides scraping mashing it into existing concrete to form bond. Depending on how wide and deep the hole is you might have to make two or three applications repeating the method each time. Should work.

Well I should be done by now, and I would be except that there seems to be a coolant leak at the back of the engine. Looks like it's coming from the intake manifold, so not happy about that, done for today, will think about it tomorrow when I get up, time for a few cold brews. **** it!

So I went out to the garage around 10:30 this morning, after thinking about the coolant leak since about 4:30. Started taking it apart, and quickly found that I had pinched a small coolant hose that runs to the throttle body, and that was where the leak was originating. Replaced that section of hose, reassembled everything, and finished putting it back together. Got it running, has a small exhaust leak, tried to fix that, but have never had much luck with exhaust, and my temperature and oil pressure gauges aren't working, something else to fix. I also had to change the radiator, I apparently damaged it when i took the old motor out, but fortunately I had a spare one. Back to work tomorrow.
 
Going through some photos my mother in law had and this is me and my wife at I think before we were married I was about 21.
