damn thing still goes to work with me everyday. it was tuned up jsut last decade and hasn't had an oil change in 2 years. i have also run it out fo water about 10times(it has a slow leak somewhere taht i never bothered to look into). still every morning i go out and turn the key and it starts. it jsut passed 150k 
i still have yet to find a car that can out do my dad's old buick. 89 buick century, 3.1 and teh overdrive tranny. got rid of it at 470k and the thing still started and drove ok. all original and my dad followed a very poor maintenace routine(he used the "if it breaks fix it cheap" system). car only ever wenmt through a few wearable parts like batteries, alts, tires, serp belts......etc

Tim, we got cut off, it REALLY was my battery power. It just shut off. Anyways, I can't make Island Friday, I have to work until 5 and then the traffic would be terrible. Not to mention I just picked up all the supplies to start prepping the car for new paint. I need to dig into that tomorrow.
So anyways, about that small leak, I have a feeling I know where it's coming from. From the passengers side, reach up under the back side of the intake manifold next to the firewall. There is a small 5" long 1/2" rubber hose shaped like a question mark ? . It's a bitch to get too with the intake manifold on but reach up under there, I bet that's your problem. The hose goes from the intake manifold to the head. I've replaced 2 of them on 2 different cavaliers.
I don't know if WANT to repair it since you do need to focus all efforts into the ls1 thirdgen
