on the way home from college my car seemed to have a slight creep in the temp gauge, so i pulled over at a rest stop to see what the problem was. my car was streaming coolant from what appeared to be the bottom of the water pump, but i just had it changed in the fall. it also appeared to be coming from the short hose that goes from the water pump to the t-stat. so i tighten up the hose clamps there, added coolant and made it home.
so i figured it wasnt the water pump since it is almost brand new, so i ordered the hose figuing it has a split in the bottom or somthing. but i took my car out to get some food and noticed that the temp gauge didnt move at all so i came home right away.
so the question is, how long does it take the thermostat to open up? in the garage i let my car idle for maybe 2 min and it hadnt opened up yet. the only funny thing is that it didnt seem to be leakin coolant at all.
i dont know what the hell the problem is.
