While playing around under the 7 I noticed a drop of coolant under the water pump (weep hole). Is it ok to drive until I replace? Or should I not risk it? It is a (relativly) cheap part that I will replace soon. Coolant temps are staying around 1/2 way up on the stock temp guage.

Thanks for you input.

if the coolant buzzer isn't on your fine... and even if it is, as long as your not too low...

EDIT: now what would be cool is if it leaked big time on to the main pulley and shot it all over the hood and engine bay.

I let mine "weep" for about 3 weeks until it started gushing, then it was time to replace that puppy, lol...

actually, ya, i had the same problem, but i drove it for like a month or two with no problem... then i blew the motor and that about ended that LoL

Yeah, I think maybe I want to catch this one before the engine blows

Cool. I will be getting one soon then. Any helpful hints on replacing? Any gotchas??

ya i had one that was like that for over a year and then before a long trip i just changed it but it never actually went out ,the bearing when it starts to go bad lets the shaft get out of align with the housing and makes a gap between the seal and the shaft and it leaks
