I went out to the garage this morning and there's a puddle (looks like water) under the front of the convertible. Drove it yesterday morning 10 miles (to grocery store & back) didn't run in any puddles... all was dry. What's up? Becky  |

Were you operating either your AC or your defroster before parking? Could be just condensation.

If it is just water, check to see if your ac is on when your switch is not in the ac or defrost position. Maybe a bad switch

 When there was a puddle under mine it turned out to be the water pump. Let's hope it's not that.

I'm going to guess and say if the water pump is gone then you might as well do the timing belt as well. Since I know you typically to the Belt and Pump together. Its Labor intensive repair, part is cheap labor kills ya.
Did the Puddle have anti freeze in it or just water? If just water sounds AC, if anti freeze sounds radiator, water pump etc.

Still thinking not in the Radiator/Water Pump area.

I sure hope you're right! She's sitting in the garage, I'm waiting for the snow to melt before I take her over to the dealership. Still have Almond Joy to drive around for now. BTW, she hasn't leaked any more water since I dried up the puddle.... I'm hoping just a cracked hose.... we'll see.

A couple years ago, my radiator leaked and I took it in and they told me it needed a new radiator to the tune of $800. I said nope, can't do it so I went back to the dealer to pick it up. Hasn't leaked since. Don't know if the petcock (yes, that's what it's called) was a little loose and they tightened it or what.

If it is the radiator I had to replace the one in my 04 NAPA had a far better price than the dealer

Still think if its just water with no antifreeze then its AC or Ice/Snow related. Maybe a piece of Ice got caught up underneath and melted into the puddle. (Just a thought)
I would think that the hoses, radiator, water pump (system) would all have antifreeze circulating through them. If you saw no antifreeze then I'd rule them out.
