So I'm leaking coolant...
 
From what appears to be my waterpump (the weephole?).

I'm waiting on a new waterpump from Summit, but I was wondering if it's okay to be driving to college (100 mile round trip) because I start on the thirty first.

And my rear tires are bald, and my hazard lights switch doesn't work, and my exhaust system makes a loud vibrating sound at stoplights, and my radio doesn't work (still oem tape player :jest: ), and I got a scratch on the front bumper that I don't know where it came from.

:bang: Dammit!

Oh and my windshield wiper blades need replacing.

Anybody want to vent with me?

You need to keep up with the maintenance and no you cant drive a 100 miles on leaky pump+100 miles=Dead LT1

I'm also still making this sqeaky sound, kinda like a kazoo sound from the engine bay. I posted it before but the problem hasn't gone away. One guy told me it was cuz I was running lean so I thought maybe I had dirty injectors so I tried injector cleaner. The problem became less frequent but still comes and goes.

You are going to want to run it as little as possible...you don't want coolant running all over your optispark.

I went through 3 opti sparks before I realized my fairly new water pump was leaking on it. :cry: Now I think it's doing much better!

Driving from Dallas to school (~200 miles) it started dying just driving down the highway. I would let it sit for a few minutes then would start back up and drive for an hour or so. Be careful man, you don't want to get left stranded somewhere!
