I'm gonna wait to see if the weather is the culprit...it's funny everything started happening when the weather got nasty. The thing is, the car isn't completed...it's sitting on jack stands in the garage...I just fire the engine up every couple weeks for mine and its benefit both...
So I can wait to see what happens...it won't be road-bound for awhile...hehehe
It being on stands is another reason why I don't just pop the water pump off....the radiator of course is full, and it would be easier to just dump everything in the driveway and wash it off with the hose instead of trying to be careful with messes in the garage.
