Re: alfa-digest V7 #51

[danny pham <robustful@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone for responding to my Overheat problem. I left out I
had removed the thermostat and still have the same problem. It seems
that what I had perceived to be antifreeze in the engine bay was also
oil; which covered my a/c belt. From what I can tell, is also attached
to the water pump. The belt was slipping; therefore the pump was not
working as it should. No loss of antifreeze because the level has been
consistent. Can't locate source of oil leak, but am planning to
replace all belts, and crank/cam seals. There's supposed to be three
seals on the passenger side. I hope this does the trick...
