   rear coolant outlet from the water pump is the most likely culprit

   Had the same thing happen 2wks ago,theres an "0" ring that perishes with age & if the coolant isn`t bled properly then it put pressure on the ring & it fails.

   Where would be the best place to get a replacement? And how much would I be looking to spend? Thanks again.
