Alright, which one of you Steve's was it that I was exchanging info. with
yesterday.  Well, one of ya I talked and questioned (at length ;) ) about
BarsLeak, which I went out and bought two 5.5 oz bottles of for just-in-
case, and convinced me that it was some good stuff to have on hand.

So maybe a bottle of this goop in her coolant system may fix it right up.
Now if it's the water pump failing, never mind.
