Goblin blood on my garage floor

Yeah, if your water pump fails, then you will not be circulating coolant through it's passages, and in turn, you would probably over heat pretty quickly.

Now, the water pump isn't something that I would think will fail too easily, as I am pretty sure it is belt driven, but it could bind up or something like that I suppose over time.

Basically, the train of thought is that if you go in that deep, you might as well change all that stuff while you are there for prosperity's sake. Not to mention, the VX manual call for changing this at 100k I think.

Funny, mine started doing this about 2 weeks ago. Just a very light puddle in the driveway. I have it torn down in the garage right now to replace the intake manifold/-S/C plenum gaskets. No sign of leak or puddling. Nil a spot to find in the engine bay, nor a hint of the smell. Can't even find a drop point from underneath. Kinda baffling.

I am guessing, for now, that it's just overflow from my reservoir since my radiator is still topped off. We shall see.

Worm....if you are the original owner (assuming yours is an '01 or even '00) and still have the 10-Year/120,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty in effect...just keep in mind you may be covered for a repair! I know for a fact that whether it's at least the water manifold gasket or water pump...you're covered.

Ya, but I do all my work myself. Always have except for body repairs/paint (well, for the VX anyways). Recent tear down showed no evidence of leaking anywhere so I am gonna sit on it until I can give her a good shakedown. Hopefully this weekend.
