[s-cars] Coolant leak and Servotronic

[Joshua Van Tol]

It's not exactly the same. But the newer pumps are interchangeable, and a
better design, as well as being cheaper.

Be aware though that there are two versions of the pump, one that has a
connector that matches up with the URS connector, and one using the later
style connectors. I mistakenly got the later style, and had to fashion an
adapter.
