Coolant leak/Mike Jez if you're out there

[Paul Lopez]

Hello list,
     My car has been leaking coolant since Thursday (at least that's when I
first noticed it) but it only does so when the car is on.  It's does not
leak that much and it leaks on and off. I checked my level and only the
reservoir was low. I finally got a chance to take a look underneath the car
and it appears to be coming from the water pump. Does this sound right? My
car is my daily driver and I put about 75 miles on it a day, it an
automatic, and has 119,XXX miles. I can't afford to lose this car (I love
this car very much even if it's an auto) and need to know how much a pain
this will be. I believe I will have to lift/lower the engine, correct? Is it
possible to get a used one or just get a new one? Mike Jez, if you're out
there, I have met and spoken to you before at two previous thedriven.org
meets and would greatly appreciate you help in this matter if you have the
time.

Thank you,
