I wish you folks hadn't spent so much effort talking about water
pumps lately. My GT6 seems to have developed 2nd-year-med-student
syndrome, which is to say, if you study a disease enough you start to
notice the symptoms in yourself. The engine got a little hot
yesterday, and subsequent evaluation later when it cooled revealed a
distinct insufficiency of coolant. Further examination after a re-
filling showed the water pump dribbling once pressure had been
restored. (Engineering to Bridge, coolant leak on C deck!) Oh well,
at least they are available and not terribly expensive. One can only
hope that they actually work and don't leak.
No help requested here per se, unless there is something non-obvious
I should know. It seems readily accessible so it shouldn't be a
complex task. In the meantime, the GT6 is at rest and will remain
there. Bummer.
On an unrelated note, I installed a newly reworked driveshaft last
week. Yow, is was much smoother at speed. Of course, now I can't
drive it at all. Again, I say, bummer.
