Today, I figured I'd take it to redline.....felt good. Drove for a
while.....went into a restaurant, got my food, came out and noticed a puddle
of coolent and a little "coolent steam" coming from the engine.
I popped the hood, and looked around......seemed like it was coming from the
back of the engine....on the passenger side.....that back left screw holding
the cam cover on was wet with seeped coolent, and some steam was coming from
behind there.....
The puddle was dripping down from that side of the engine onto the
suspension arm, and down on the pavement.
This worried me.....as I didnt know if there was a hose back there that
could break, or is it something major ( I just got the car 3 days ago, and
all my friends laughed at me getting a French car)
I consulted my Haynes manual......says the waterpump is in that general
vicinity. So...anyone know of any good Peugeot shops in the Eastside
Seattle area???
What do you guys think about the water pump possibility........The engine
still runs great....just shoots coolent out of that side. The car has 138k
on it. (About time for a water pump if it hasnt already had at least one...<g>)
Thanks in advance
