Do you have a little more detail about where you will meet in Westlake? That is where the 23 (called Westlake Blvd at this point) and the 101 meet.
I won't be able to drive down to Marina Del Rey (family and church commitments) but I should be able to swing by if you know where and roughly when on the upper end. I live nearby in Thousand Oaks.
Be careful on the 23 (Decker Canyon, part of Mulholland Highway, and part of Westlake Blvd). There are parts of it that are treacherous.

Latest updates:
I had the waterpump replaced. It turned out to be the original, so not a bad idea (75k miles). The clunk when I turn the wheel all the way over is a minor tear in the CV boot. So, at some point, I'll need to do that axle. However, after the car left the shop yesterday, I smelled burning coolant. I got it home, and the engine is spewing coolant from somewhere high up on the block. So, I rushed the car back to them, and there it sits. More updates to follow.
Again, the meets gonna happen, even if I'm rollerblading.

Jim: Not sure what time we'll be at Westlake; it all depends on what we do for food and how quickly we take Decker. Ball park of maybe 1:30 to 3ish? The complex I'm thinking of is at the southwest corner of Westlake and the 101 (S). There's a gas station at the corner, and a big lot behind it, with a Wells Fargo bank and some other stuff. My car is up and running again... a bypass hose wasn't secure, fell into the belt, and had a hole burned into it. Hence rubber AND coolant smells.
