Well... what can I say other than that my worst fears were verified this morning by my mechanic... blown water seals. I was so hoping that is was something else... but the increasingly hard morning start ups and continual "dissappearance" of coolant kind of believe it was the inevitable.

Going to go to the Local Autoparts Store and pick me up some CRC Copper Block Weld and Degreaser to see if it will work for the time being. Hoping it will hold until summer break so I will have time to have it in the shop as well as more money to cover the costs. I've read a couple of posts of about how to use that block weld stuff, but if anyone else has any other helpful hints... that would be great! Peace to you all and may the Rotary Gods bless you with many many miles.
