Daniel:
Thanks for rebuilding your car and having so many issues. You keep this
list going. :-)
Grab the radiator blade and move it to and fro. If there's movement,
and I suspect there is, yep, it's your waterpump. This starts before it
begins to leak. By the time it's leaking, it's really getting bad.
Expensive! $150 or so from Nissan.
