Yes Bill, pinch a pocket full of pennies and turn them into a pocket full of dimes.
I had a grand caravan I couldn't figure out where I was losing coolant. So I put a paper clip under the radiator cap so my coolant in the radiator wasn't under pressure. Instead the warm coolant went into the overflow bottle.
That trick slowed down the leak. I had no idea where the coolant was going until one day all the bells went off and all the red lights on the dash came on.
The water pump was dripping a little and the heat from the engine evaporated the coolant so I never found the problem until the leak caused the water pump bearing to lock up, it spun the pulley off the pump and the belt fell off.
I got a ride home. Later that day after the car cooled off I drove the car home. It was only a few mile drive.
Any recommendations? Take your pocket full of dimes and buy a new pump. If you need more coins, pinch the dime hard enough and I know you can turn the dime into a quarter. I'm cheap but
you are the master penny pincher. LOL
See you Tuesday.

When I was a mechanic in the JD shop in 72 the owner would put a bottle of Barr's stop leak in everything, he said it was a good water pump lube as well as a stop leak. I too have used it with great success.
