I just bought the car one month ago and from the start i always smelled a little anti-freeze with the heat on so i figured it was just spillage from recent filling. But last week it dumped like a quart in my driveway. I thought it was the water pump seal or thermostat housing or a hose or something.

But when i got it into my shop and pressure tested the coolant system the gasket blew right out. Coolant was pouring out like crazy. So i had no choice but to replace it.

20 hours and a few knuckles later its finally done...
