About a month ago, I noticed antifreeze puddles on the driveway.
After some examination, it appeared to be a leak from the
gasket on top of the water pump. The pump itself was obviously working,
since the car was not overheating.

So, rather than opening up everything and replacing the gasket, I started smearing it with some gasket grease and kept spraying some WD-40
where I could reach.

Bottom line...After a couple of weeks, I have not seen any leaks.
Hopefully, this will last for a long while.
Sometimes, the simplest fix is the way to go!
