Definitely looked like the throttle body gasket was leaking.....one of the elbows broke.......the EGR tube was full of coolant......
Good job, this will pay dividends down the road if you keep the vehicle,,,,,

Wow, I wasn't expecting everything to get ripped apart so quick. I didn't even get a chance to recommend metal framed LIM gaskets, sleeved UIM, and metal elbows.
Now I feel awful knowing that this problem will crop up at some point again. Sorry bud :(

I just looked at your videos.....It seems to start as quickly as my 2001 LeSabre Limited. You should have someone record the sound from the engine compartment when you start it.
