Haha thanks George. I was looking at the block heater thinking it may be leaking too Les, I almost want to just fill it back up with water now (the reservoir is bone dry, and haven't checked the rad) then let it warm up and start leaking like it was again just so I can see exactly where it's coming from. This should be fine right? It was leaking like mad last night it was just so dark, in the light I should easily be able to see where it's leaking from with that much coming out.

Thanks Les, it's the damn water pump!! What a sad day. I didn't even have to start it up, just filled it up with some water and watched as it started flowing right back out. Well I better get to work now!

George I don't even want to start talking about how unlucky I've been with this blazer, I swear there's never a time I'm just happy with it and everything is working properly. It's a good thing I have so much invested in it... Will update how it goes with the water pump, will be replacing it today. Anyone having used this thread sealer know how long I should wait before filling the cooling system back up and running it? The package says fixtures in 4 hours, full cure 24-72 hours, 3 days would be a long time to just have it sitting though...
