just noticed the leak from the pulley side of the motor when i was changing the oil yesterday and whe i was almost to work the temp guage was just at about overheating and i could faintly hear it steaming...
put some water in it after work and it was bone dry. i made it home and ran a few errands and went to a friends house a total of maybe 40 miles and its not overheating but seemed half the water was already gone. question i suppose is whether or not i should try a stop leak or am i looking at replacing the waterpump. i honestly thing i'd rather put water in it every other day than go through the hassle ince i'll be tearing out the motor in a few months.
thnx for any input and here the brief history and future of the car...
i've had the car all of 3 days and have replaced plugs, wires, oil, filter, and an attempt to ptch a pretty bad exhaust leak. i'm wondering if its causing i picked up the car with plans on doing the sho project. i've owned 2 shos and have decided this to be my next project. i plan on driving it for the next 3 months while i rebuild a motor and at the same time collect all the other aspects of the car i'll be upgrading to such as motor frame, brakes, feul lines, suspension, feul cell, cpu, wiring, wheels, and everything else involved which i can use extra info on if any of the shogun owners wouldnt mind sharing.... i'm still at least a few months out from cutting into the car but would much rather be prepared if only on paper as soon as possible. thnx in avance for ur help and any comments.
