Hi everyone, well as I'm getting into my engine bay a bit I notice that there is grease/buildup everywhere from something. So I take a paper towel and 99% of it is red if you look hard at the paper towel (obviously, most of it on the towel is black). So I think, power steering! Well, its not that I don't think, mine does seep a bit but I'm not missing any more then I ever have, and for this kind of coverage... you would definitly see it.
Next up is the water pump, which the bottom of is SOAKED in what I now believe is coolant with lots of dirt clumped into it. Below the water pump there is literally crystalized red on some parts and everything is covered in the "gunk". So, I think its gone on me too now. But I was wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this with their water pump failing, but not being totally obvious until you really hunt into it.
I do believe I have a reason for it to have failed too, since the car did start to run hot (my hot is like 110-115 tho, stock guage didn't even move) because I was missing 1/3 of my coolant on the roads of indianapolis...
