[DML] Re: Water Pump Weeping

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another owner nearby had a weeping water pump and used Bar's stop
Leak. It seems to have stopped it. IMHO this is s VERY temporary
solution. I would not begin a long drive with it knowing it could let
go all at once. At the very least loosen the pressure cap and don't
use the A/C to put the least pressure you can on the seal. Keep a
couple of gallons of extra water in the car and check the level 
frequently. Watch the temp gauge closely. There is no accurate way to
predict how long it will last but when it goes you will know it!
