Howdy,
I've had my 1996 Mystique 2 weeks now. 83m miles and very clean. The second day I drove it to work I noticed a small puddle of coolant(green) under the center front side of the motor. It's a 2.5 V-6. I looked at it carefully from the underside today and it looks like it's dripping from the "weep" hole on the underside of the water pump. Only while the car is heated up and running. Luckily the dealer I bought it from is going to look at it Monday and fix it for free(30 day warranty). I'm going to insist he get a white plastic or metal impeller pump, if that's the problem. Should I also change all the hoses? If the dealer is willing to replace the hoses while fixing the pump. I'd probably have to pay for the hoses. It hasn't overheated and seems to run perfect. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. Bill
