yeah, that definitely sounds like the seal around your water pump failed, or your water pump itself failed, could of been from being loosened or just age, thats a fun replacement.....

What milage you got dude?
We do our cambelts and waterpumps and tensioners every 100,000kms which equates to 62,000 miles. To be on the safe side, if you buy a car with 80,000kms (46,000miles) you get it done anyways the same week you buy the car check around the engine bay to see if any mechanic has left a sticker saying when the cambelt was done -------------------- Mike W

Then you may or may not have gone past the point of the 2nd major service, if you're unsure about the cars history then nows the time

Well, water pump and new timing belt install complete. WOW! is all I can say...It runs like a completely different car. Some of you might remember I was having a problem and couldn't rev past 4000rpm, well that's completely solved now, she pulls hard, I'm very impressed! It must have been SO out of time before. It's a lot less noisy and is just a whole different car now. |

Yeah, Your belt was probably stretched too, sounds like everything on that side of the motor was overdue for replacement.
Glad to hear you're up and running again. -------------------- Mike W
