way way faster then ever befor.

 

it used to be a slow leak. have to top off after a month or so.. well i changed out the green stuff 3 days ago with new stuff and today my coolant is GONE. and i see great big puddle where it leaked out. it looks like its comeing from the water pump where it connects to the block. Is this something im going ot want to do on my own or just give it to a stealership.

 

3 things wrong in that general area

AC dosnt work

waterpump leaks

timingbelt is about due.

I would wait a day just to be safe for it cure. The package should say how long it takes.

I used the blue RTV sealant.. waited a couple hours (better part of a day maybe?) and it was fine.

 

I you *should* be okay if you absolutely must drive it to work.

i drove it but made sure to keep the rpms down under 4k. no leaking.

 

the tube with the silicone already cured on the outside so i figured the gasket might be nearly done since its so thin.

 

NO LEAKAGE WOOT! man now my hands are freaking greesy. gotta get cleaned up for work.
