This car is REALLY starting to try my patience. I just did a bunch of flushes to get all traces of the oil out of the cooling system which was a result of a loose/failed oil cooler. I finally felt it was cleaned enough to put in the final load of distilled water and pink coolant. I took it for a drive, temps were good, but shortly into the ride the red light started blinking with low coolant. I took the car immediately back home, looked under, and saw a fairly serious leak. It's the water pump. AARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH !!!!!!

If I never touch the cooling system on this car again it'll be too soon. Any tips on which pump to get and/or tips on putting it in would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Old cars... aren't they FUN!!!???
