Cats: Can I just get a quick confirmation that my water pump is giving up? This morning a heard a sound like ducks passing overhead, but it was coming from my car. I lift up the hood and see a line of black on the hood tossed up from the pulley. It was damp but dried quickly to look like flat paint. I first thought oil was dripping from somewhere and being flung up, but since it dried, I guessed that it must be grease from the water pump bearings.
Am I diagnosing this correctly? If yes, can I keep driving for a while, or should I best park it until I get a replacement? Thanks, Stefano Concord, CA -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
