****!!! while i was driving today my temp guage kept rising, and i was leaking coolant when i got home. Radiator hoses are dry, changed the thermostat a month ago, i'm going with i need a new water pump (as it was never replaced in the past), is my assumption correct?!

Please Help i don't want my baby to die!

 

junk it, when your car is older than you, you need to junk it
