coolant is like a light green right color. not like a heavy set green?

also is it watery or more oily?

such a damn noob here. XP

having a hard time deciding witch is witch since the guy we recharged my ac dyed it green to see if there are any leaks. smart guy.

Well, definatly replace that damn thing, I found that our the hard way, the water pump has little holes in it to tell you a seal in ur pump is about to die, well I was on my way home from Houston, I live in Jaser, about 150 miles at the most. I stoped to get gas, and i saw a little leak(and i mean littttle), so I was like bahh, only got 100 more miles, I'll just stop and fill it ever now and then, well not even 30 miles down the road my engine just quit on me, fried all four of my rings cause all my water leaked out on me, and my stupid POS coolant temp thing didnt move at all. Boy was I pissed lol

I wish I could say the same, its costing around 450 , just for rings, bearings, gasket kit, honing, new water pump, just basic rebuild. Its a shame, all that for a part that cose like 40 bucks at autozone. But it did give me a easier way to put my 5 speed in, woo hoo
