I wish that I was writing for nigerian scam emails, those guys make huge dollers. Sorry I sometime write in that manner when I am getting frustrated and I want to supply as much information as I can to those that I am appealing to for help. As for how much coolant is comming out it is only in drips and then it only appears to be comming out after I have been driving for a while and then park. Then when I go and do something and come back there is a pleasent (and by pleasent I mean not so pleasent) puddle of coolent on the ground beneith my car. If I leave it for extended periods of time there is still the puddle but no more dripps. I am not sure if that is a pertinant piece of information but I included it none the less.
I think that I am just going to replace the water pump as recomended, and if the problem persists I will be back to harass all of you walking contique databases for more information
thanks again
Jeremy
