Default The streak has ended

Well, I made it 108k miles before having to replace anything on my 2004 ls's engine (aside from Plugs,wires,belt). I put washer fluid in it the other day and I knew I smelled coolant. Today I popped the good and the water pump pulley and timing cover had residue on them. Started it up and after 5 mins it had coolant droplets all over the bumper and engine. At least it is a cheap part.

Sorry for the grammar. Using my iPhone. No power or cable due to massive storms.

Are you doing it yourself, If it is the 3.4 it is really easy to change. I would recommend getting the part first so you can see how it comes out.

That's a heck of a run! I think that deserves a huge CONGRATS and the good luck. But hopefully after this repair, you get many miles between repairs

Got it in the other day. Took a whooping 15 mins, $20 and no more leak.
