New trickery provided by my auto... the water pump seal is cracked and is leaking coolant at a mild pace. Suckie. I know. The problem is the task is a moderate half day, assuming you know what to sorta do, with removal of the fan, belts, and the pump...My buddy's dad says it's a process he's done tons of times and would be willing to help, but I have to get my friend on board as well. Do I bite the mechanic fee and take it in or wait? Hmmm...
