[s-cars] Coolant leak and Servotronic

[Keith Franchetti]

Thansk Wylie!

Quick search on Autoparts Warehouse shows slightly different model number,
but virtually same price.  About $97.  Both Bosch.  Pumps look about the
same, but pics are from opposite angles, so can't be sure.  But might as
well go with the AAN version since they are same price.  But does $97 and
free shipping for Bosch pump sound okay?  Thanks for the help!
