Thank you sir.
Based on recent findings, I have to agree.
I just want to feel that leak at the pump itself before ordering parts. Going to dig into it today to confirm. Good news is that from what I see, its a pretty straightforward swap.
The other up / downer is finding the weeping power steering line at the bottom of the motor. At least it seems that way. I am going to swap the waterpump first to confirm that the line is weeping maybe it is just coolant splashing onto it. I doubt it though as there was a substantial buildup of crud on the catchpan.
