Ok well my day today went:
Wake up and drive to work...

Drive home from work...

Drive to HomeDepot which is like 3 miles from my house...

Walk out from HomeDepot and my water pump like blew up...

I have a 1993 944 N/A with 193K Miles on the car, and 110K Miles on the 1995 Engine that was JUST Installed 2400 miles ago. What is up with that, did someone F'UP.. I am more than a little annoyed at this. What appears to have happened is the seal on the top part of the water pump blew out. The seal almost looks like the kind that is on the larger round end of a watering hose. Does this mean a faulty gasket? Or something more serious?

I bought the car because the guy said that he was sort of rebuilding a volvo engine with less miles on it, and putting it in the car i bought. I know for a fact that the engine that is in there had an almost new water pump installed.

Any help would be great.. Because if it is more serious i just might have my uncle whos a lawyer get my money back... I bought the car from a Volvo shop with the verbal reassurance that the car will last FOREVER... which i didnt care about.. i needed something to get me around college for 3 more years. Not something that was going to blow up in a month and a half.

Any help would be great... Because i really DONT want to get rid of my brick. I have grown rather fond of it.
