wanna hear something funny.........?
so here is the deal.
my water pump was leaking so my engine kept over-heating i took to a few mechanics they said ok the problem was the water pump...which i pretty much already knew but everyone wanted to charge me about $1,000
and at the time i didnt have cash like that laying around so instead i was just refilling anti-freeze everyday about half a bottle a day
two weeks pass and no more leaking lol...
so i take it back to a different shop and they say their is nothing wrong with it... im thinking to myself it cant be possible.
i take to the old shop and the guys said ive had to have fixed it or their was no problem...and i know im not crazy lol....
now has ne body had a problem like this one? lol
im telling beleive in these japenese people who make these cars theyhave powers lol...

It is a weeping hole which is made to leak because the bearing is worn out.
It does not cost $1000 to get the work done even with parts.
Fix it or don't drive it you don't want that going and overheating or leaving chunks inside your engine.

Well I spent about $1300 on parts on labor doing...
1. Timing belt & wateropump
2. valve cover seals and front engine seals
3. cranshaft sensor
4. camshaft sensor
5. oxygen sensors
6. ignition coil
and some other misc. stuff. Just to give you a ball park.
I agree also that it is just the early symptoms of a pump going bad. Fix ASAP or dont drive it too much. Your call.
