[s-cars] Coolant leak and Servotronic

[Peter Golledge]

99% probability it is the pump.  Replace with splice until you get a new 
one... if ever.  The number of cars I've seen with these inop and no 
turbo issues makes me wonder if just letting a little cool down happen 
after a hard run is all that you need.
