After
driving yesterday in the 100+ degree Texas heat, I noticed a slight
antifreeze-like smell in the garage. Sure enough, today I found a few
ounces of the green stuff on the garage floor. It wasn't leaking at the
time, but when I removed the radiator cap (resevoir cap?) the fluid started
flowing freely. I can't see exactly where from, but it's on the
ignition-timing marks and is dripping from just above. Since all the hoses
are six months old, I'm inclined to believe that my water pump has
failed.
So my
question to you, dear reader, is: do you agree with my diagnosis? Andif
so, do you think I should attempt to tackle this problem myself? And how
many beers will it require?
