[s-cars] Coolant Leak at Front of Engine - Update

[Sean Douglas]

Pulled the s-belt tensioner and t-belt cover today and had a peek.

The coolant is weeping from the shaft of the water pump and it only has
50,000 km on it. It's made by Hepa, a quality German manufacturer - or
so I thought...

Looks like I have my work cut out for me.
