More likely the belt broke causing the engine to overheat (as well as not turning the alternator). The little "weep" hole in the bottom of the pump is just that-a good indicator that the pump has dec

I'm not trying to sound flip here but "seam sealer" is what you need. Any good auto paint store or auto parts store has it. Yep, it is called seam sealer and is available in tubes that you can apply

This sounds like the typical grounding problem. More specificially, a lack of a good ground. Bad grounds cause more electrical problems than any other, in my experience. -- Larry Dickstein Lone Jack,

DaveI think the radio whine was a symptom but not the cause. My guess would be a malfunction in the alternator/voltage regulator. It wouldn't be adviseable to run it in this condition long but a fast

Yes. Use a small flat punch and a smaller hammer and tap it counter-clockwise. It will not take much and it doesn't unscrew like a pickle jar lid--It only has locking cams, for want of a better descr

That would be my guess too! If the brake fluid is slipping past the seals the pressure goes away and there may be no external leakage. You might try the chain auto parts stores for the master cylinde

That's where it ought to be! Be happy! Low oil pressure is the result, usually, of main bearing wear. Any other malfunction that causes the system to not hold pressure can be a culprit as well. An ex
