Water Pump (indications of problems)?

[BoomerRoadie]

Sounds good.

But can you guys tell me how often you top off the water reservoir? What's a normal amount and how much do you add at a time?

I just need a benchmark to work with.

Thanks!

Simple benchmark - You should not have to top off.
When all components of my cooling system are working correctly, then I don't need to add any coolant/distilled water.

including the areas dghii suggested, make sure there is no condensation on your trunk lid.

In 14 years and 73,000 miles of ownership from new on my 03 S I have never had to top off my coolant except for the time that the water pump started to fail and was leaking coolant around the bearing.
