There is coolant leaking from a rust hole in the oil pan.

Car was sitting for at least 2 years. Towed to our shop for a once over. 2002 Altima 2.5. Dead battery, add a jump pack. Crank no start. Fuel gauge below empty. Add 2 gallons. Fuel gauge above empty!

Still crank no start. Verify fuel pressure at the feed line by master cylinder, then noticed that all 4 coils are new, unbranded, and wrong style. Weird.

Oil level 2qt over filled.

There are 3 huge rust holes in the floor pan. Front two foot wells had a hole maybe 14″x8″ and LR foot well about 6″x6″. No pictures or video of that.

I poked the flakey oil pan and a huge chunk fell off, then coolant started to leak out. Nice, that explains why it’s overfilled.

Other issues included dry rotted, mismatched, bald tires. A few loose suspension joints. Badly cracked windshield. Didn’t bother looking further, this car needs an engine and the floorpan has 3 holes you can fall through.
