Sorry for the double post, but I forgot to change the subject.
As you can see from the story below, I had some issue with coolant. When
the engine was running, there didn't appear to be leakage, but when you
turned the engine off water freely leaked. I took the engine cover off
today and road around a bit so I could watch the engine. It doesn't leak
when under load, but does leak a little at idle and a lot when off. It
doesn't drain completely, just a little until the engine cools. It appears
to be coming from the water pump area. As you know, you can't really see
much in that area. I grabbed the water pump pulley from the top and pulled,
it moved a bit and make a small clang-type noise. Am I right in thinking
that I have a bad water pump?
Thanks in advance,
Eddie Pettit
Midlothian VA.

On the way to VAB, I had noticed a station in Windsor VA that had regular
for $2.38/gal. We set off for the station and arrived without issue. Since
there wasn't a deadline, and I was feeling confident, I actually turned off
the RV even though the air temp was 100F. When I did that, I noticed that
coolant was freely flowing under the RV. It looked like it was being poured
through a small funnel. My temp gauge had been fine the entire trip, so I
wasn't too concerned about it, but the guys fueling their boat seemed a bit
concerned. I looked back to where the RV had sat, while I was waiting on a
pump and didn't see any fluid there, so I assumed it was just overflow.
