Smoke Smoke + More Smoke!!!!
Damnit!
So i'm on my way to a random beach with my sisters, hoping to cool off. On the drive there, I heard 1 funky sound from my car. I figure its nothing as everything else was going fine. I get to some lake off 694 on Victoria. I park the car and we all get out. Something smells fishy inside my car. I figure its nothing, maybe just the smell of the lake. We walk to the lake, and find that its just tons of people bbq / picnic whatever, so we walk back. Something smells REALLY Fishy, like Coolant Fishy. I back up the car and right where I parked, is a shit load of coolant from the left side of the car. I merely drive to the off ramp for 694-E and my water temp gauge is beyond the maximum high level! I get on 35E going south and exit of Little canada road waiting for the damn red light to turn green and I can see smoke coming out of my car. I basically coast to my house, get everyone out, open the hood, and BAM!!!!
It just wouldn't stop smoking / sizzling. It was coming from below / behind the alternator. Confused and dazed, hoping my car won't get on fire or something, I'm thinking it can't be the alternator. Still sizzlin won't stop, i get the hose and gently spray it. Less Smoke, still sizzlin..
I'm thinkin its the Stupid Water Pump..........Would this be an easy fix?
Man,,,,I had plans tonight too.....Now i'm truly a member of the dsm world. Busted 2g sittin on my driveway.
