Well.....for everyone that said it was the water pump that was the cause of the leak YOU WIN! (and I lose). My shop is installing a new water pump, thermostate and belt and I should have it back tomorrow. The cost quoted is $1350 out the door. I'm not sure if that's high, low or average for the Chicago area but it seems OK to me. My 20 year old 98' with 86,000 miles is my "fun summer car" and since it hasn't ever been maintenace "hog" I'll fix her up and drive on........
