Well it is finally my turn. I noticed a steady drip, drip, drip from my engine and crawled under to check it out. The drip definitely comes from the rear of the engine in the vicinity of the water pump. Since I don't do my own repairs what can I expect to pay to have this fixed, assuming of course that it is the water pump. I should add that there was a loud screeching sound for several days when the engine was started but that usually subsided very soon. Also, looking at the water pump from the top through the hatch the gap between the pump pulley as if the fan belt was too tight and pulled the shaft out of alignment. and the pump body is somewhat asymmetrical. Any advice?
