    Dumb ? Where might I find the water pump and what does it look like?

    I don't know what the radiator overflow is, but the radiator coolant resevior is just over the full mark by about an inch...

    I drove it and it ran good with no more leaking or overheating this afternoon.

    It appears to have leaked at one time or another from the actual radiator cap and then also from the hose on the drivers side of the radiator leaving? the radiator...that's the side that fluid was left on my garage floor this morning.

    Just behind that hose is the resevior for the wiper fluid...and the wiper fluid was also leaking this morning ...not from that resevior though but from the sprayer hoses near the winshield...but the resevior isn't that full.


    The radiator cap does say it's for a closed system...how do I know if that's what I have or need?

    Also, you're right Pat, it's a slow starter, but the idle did pick up alot...i'll have to look into how to change that...unless it's something simple...he he he! Any more thoughts/instructions would be greatly appreciated...it gives me an excuse to tinker around in the engine without being too dangerous ha ha!
