seems i have a coolant leak on the car i just bought it is in the water pump area so i'm hoping that is it it isd a pretty good size leak and only leaks if it is running but time to break out the jack stands and take a look if it is then the thermostat is getting done as well while the system is drained

Not likely to be the thermostat. Most likely on that end of the motor is the coolant bypass fitting in the LIM (stock is plastic, OEM replacement is metal) or the water pump.

lim ?

ok out under car and water pump feels dry so now i dont got a clue

and i was going to do the t stat any how if i got the system drained a little perventive matinance

Hop out from under and look down in from above. If you look directly under the supercharger pulley you will see the waterpump. Follow the hose that comes off the top of the water pump and heads into the LIM (lower intake manifold). Most likely this is your leak. Not the hose, but the plastic fitting that connects the hose to the lower intake. They are known to corrode and crack.

The parts is around $10-$15 dollars and is replaced with a metal piece.

ok cool well didnt find any thing down below and it looks like it is above the watter pump but kinda behind the alt so any hoe i guess i need to pull that apart now lol is it a dealer only part or can i get it at like checker - autozone

Autozone didn't have mine. I got it in stock from the dealer.

well it is not the plastic conector it is looking like the LIM needs a new gasket so i guess time to pull the charger and get-r-done and check the fluid in the charger and sutch

well after sitting under my hood for a wile i cant seem to find it so i am not tearing in to it yet just got to add watter till i can get it to the shop next week and get it looked at by some one better than i am at this stuff i'm getting a low coolant light but check it and it is full and it dont seem to be leaking now and all i did is fill the system and bleed it out on the t-stat housing but it is kinda hinky and i dont plan on driving it to mutch till i can get it in the shop just striking me as wierd


on a side note the temp "spikes" at like 3/4 and gos back down to 1/2 the 93 stays at 1/2 all the time and seems lacking on power the boost guage go'* up but dont feel the seat of the pants go that my wifes car has

just a couple things that has me scratching my head
