Message	I've been seeing a bit of coolant leaking and started hearing some noise/vibration coming from the front of the motor. It had gotten a bit worse over the past week. So on Saturday I'm looking listening and I get that faint burnt clutch smell. So I'm like, "I better look into this NOW!". I pull the right upper cover plug in the wires I disconnected and start 'er up. Everything looks good, but I still hear the noise/vibration. Well this is where I am with it currently I'm going to reassemble it without the T-Belt cover and start 'er up to see if I can get a better idea of what is causing the noise/vibration issue. The coolant leak appears to be from the junction of the lower hard-pipe and the radiator hose, there was a bunch of crystallized Anti-Freeze at that junction, and I could see where coolant had run down the bottom of that pipe and dripped onto the top of the water-pump. The idler pulley for the A/C belt looks a bit wobbly and I'm wondering if that was the cause of the noise/vibration I was hearing. Oh well, I just wish what ever it is would have held up another 4- 6 weeks.
