hey Nelson, Let me see if i understand this correctly:
If the pressure cap is not working, then with less pressure in the cooling system,
then borderline water pump leaks might have stopped leaking... until the pressure cap is fixed?
I suppose i could take a drive after swapping radiator caps with the Eleganza, and see…
Any other tips in this direction? Thanks!

> it looks like the Birchhaven's water pump stopped leaking.
> For a few months last year, it?d spit out a bit after turning off the engine after a long drive;
> and i?ve been keeping my eyes open, plus bought the Cardone pump to have on hand if needed.
> But for the past 3 months and 400 miles, i haven?t seen any coolant on the driveway or the pulley.
> So how many votes for ?you better change the pump ASAP anyway?, vs. ?keep your eye on it, and change if it starts leaking again??
> What could cause a leaking seal to stop leaking? I didn?t add any stop-leak or anything.
