Noticed the coolant res. was just a little low last fall so I filled it. Unloaded some firewood logs shortly after then plowed snow later as it came. Thought I smelled anti-freeze plow'n once, but it was just a whiff and then nothing.
Figgered Just for entertainment, I would pop the hood and look things over. Res was below the cold mark. So I looked a little closer and found the front of the engine looked "shiny".........I won't say the several words I said then
I thought MAYBE it could be the o-ring between the pump and head, a two dollar o-ring and some of my time.... nope, then I saw the weep hole on the pump was weep'n the green.:thumbdown:
Now, its a $352.62 and some of my time, didn't make it to 500 hours and the water pump leaks
Parts should be here monday
