Wife parked the car Friday night after work. I came out later and noticed a significant amount of water pooling at the garage door. initially thought nothing of it. Had been hot that day, A/C was running hard to keep up, figured it was condensation.
Next morning the water is still there, but the puddle seems a bit bigger. in the daylight it has a greenish tint. by Saturday night, the coolant reservoir is empty. It's Labor Day weekend, no one is open Monday. Tuesday morning, the radiator is almost empty too. Have it towed to the shop, mechanic calls and says all 4 bolts on the passenger side have sheared off. Said the leak is coming from the water pump because the water pump is what is holding the motor in place. He's never seen anything like it.
We're looking at $1200 just for labor. He's calling around to find parts.
We've owned the car 8 months.
