Angry feeling sad, down, depressed, angry

just spend a whole day putting in new waterpump and gaskets, took forever to clean up those old melt nasty gaskets,
still the car leaks like hell, when i just start the car it's fine, and then drove for 5 mins....still fine, but then when i turned off the car, it starts to leak like HELL..........

i have already waited for parts like fluidyne radiator, and new water pump and gaskets.......has been a whole winter break already,
and ****, i dunno what to say now...
just feeling like ****, hungry, and dirty now, and on top of that, MY CAR IS STILL NOT RUNNING RIGHT,


sorry i just need someplace to vent

damn those ******* pulleys and belts, gaskets, alternator, radiator, waterpump
bla bla bla


i'll ******* tow it to mariah and let them fix it,
god damn i am sick of that ****.

Is it leaking in the same place? Take off the radiator cap when the car is cool, then start the engine. See if coolant shoots out. If it does, thats bad. That means the exhaust is pressurizing your cooling system. That could *possibly* be whats making your car leak like that

Or maybe the waterpump housing itself is cracked. I don't know.

thx for advice,
i tried that testing already,
i think my water seal is still alright,
although i smell little gas from the overflow tank,

anyways, even if it's the housing or whatever,
i am not touching the FC now,
i rather pay someone than go through what i been through today

**** i spend soo much time in my garage, and now even i close my eyes, i can still see my alternator and waterpump

I took a brake caliper off my parts car at 10 pm in 20 degree weather the other night just so I could drive the TII again. That really sucked.
