Hello list,I've recently purchased an 84 vanagon
westfalia with multile problems.  After repairing the
brakes I took it for a test drive, as I have never
heard it run and have never driven it.  About a half
mile in, a big cloud of white smoke blew out of the
exhaust.  I removed the cover for the coolant (not
expansion) tank and the fluid wasn't moving.  I also
pinched one of the hoses and it was soft or mushy, not
firm, as I thought it should be if the water pump was
working properly.  The question is, do I take it to a
shop and have them check the heads, or dig in further
with the water pump?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated!  Thanks - Matt.
