Glad you found the issue. I don't want to give you "my bad luck" ...BUT.... In my case, my water pump ALSO failed and was replaced too. Two weeks later, I discovered that my coolant tank began leaking from those spider cracks I described in my previous post. Fortunately, those two repairs have been the only repairs my 98 has needed in the 23 years I've driven it. (My 98 just turned 90,000 miles old - 4,000 miles/yr average)
