I have a 98 LS with 124K on it and the water pump/timing belt has not been done YET.

Today I was sitting in my car with the a/c on listening to music and watched my temp gauge go 1 tik above normal as it usually sits 1 tik below normal even on 100 degree days. I got out and saw the a/c water puddle and then another puddle near it and thought that was strange. stuck my finger in it and saw the yellow drip of coolant! Crap! I shut the car off and looked under and it's dripping from the front of the car it seems. a lot was lost in a 20-25 minute period.

The water pump has NOT been done yet at 124K and I have heard they leak right before they fail. Is this true? I know I need to have it done but this could also be a leak somewhere else. What other common places do UCF20's leak coolant from?

Should be fairly easy t chase it down. Just take your time. Start with the large hoses. Check around the radiator. Then around the thermostat housing. Rule those out first. If they are good then start lookin at the waterpump.

Oh dont forget the heater hoses.
