yeh i just got my car back from them few weeks ago. I would call them again, they just real busy guys, especially lately. If I can't figure out what is going on, I will most likely give them a call. But it seems pretty clearly that my water pump seal is going.. When i change my oil friday I should be able to rule out headgasket and I'll just replace my water pump most likely.

ok update on my problem... everytime i shut off the car, a ton of coolant starts spitting out of the bleed line from the overflow tank. None of the coolant even gets into the overflow tank. I called Dave and he said check the hose for clogging that leads into the overflow tank and I did, but does not seem to be clogged. Any ideas?

come on guys, I know someone has to know what is going on. I replaced the radiator cap today with a pos advanced auto one until the OEM one comes in at mitsu on thursday. The cars water temp is still climbing, most of the time when im driving on the interstate. And of course, when I turn off the car it pukes a shit load of coolant out of the overflow reservoir bleed line.

you might need to flush your radiator and replace the thermistat.

think i found my answer on dsmtalk forum. People are having the same problem when there headgasket has been the culprit. Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, how much does this usually cost to get replaced and/or how hard is this to do on my own..
