[urq] Water Pump and Timing Belt was "help"

[Andrew B]

Yeah, as far as I know the pump is leaking.  I lost all my coolant,
and that's probably where it went.  I bet it could be fixed with a new
o-ring, but I will never know.  I'm probably going to be stuck footing
the whole bill, so bye-bye savings....I need to move out of this
city.... :(
