well the melt, could be from the diesel/oil...
Its a good thing that the oil is good, and the antifreeze well, thats not abnormal, at least to me,
2 winters ago now, I went through 2 vw's, and never ever again!! lol.
I learned my lesson, a costly one, but I did..lol
The waterpump would pump out antifreeze it would leave a weird mark sure..and No, it will leak all the time(if seal is really gone or just semi gone)

might the frost plug on the water pump.... not too expensive... but you will need to replace the waterpump housing, a good mechanic shouldnt chharge more than around $300 to do it

well my engine has never over heated and i have never completely ran out of anti freeze. so thats a good thing lol. im gonna try and find the leak myself tomorrow. im not a mechanic but im smart enough to know if something is dripping or not lol. which will save me money cause i can just get a backyard mechanic that lives in town here to do it.

I've seen the title and it made me laught, for us 2010 was a blast!

March 2010: my son finish his treatment for lukemia, enter remission
June 2010: our third child is born a beautiful little girl named Zoé
August 2010: I win the Eastern IASCA Final "Rookie"
November 2010: Wife is diagnose with Hodgkin cancer
December 2010: A probably drunk driver crash at over 100kmh in our driveway, 2 cars totalled

I've seen a show about the ppl in Pakistan after the flood, just an example but a mom is going out of the hospital with her dead child in her arm like it was nothing... When you see this, your problems become so irrelevant. When you think you have a shitty day/life just look around and i'm sure you will find something positive. 1st, if you are reading this, you have access to the internet, think about all the egyptian right now...

I got a new minivan last friday, time for a new build!

Ok first of all I didn't say my life is the worse. And sorry for all your problems. I didn't ask directly for your sympathy. I didn't say I was poor in Pakistan. Nor did I say I have it worse then them? Don't like my topic don't reply how about . And I am well aware people have it worse. And I always push things aside but at one point it finally pisses you off. So ya I don't need your approval. And I could just justify myself but I don't need to because any normal person realizes I was more or less asking for help or venting. If you need to vent start your own thread. Ps sorry to hear about your wife but glad to hear about your son and daughter. Oh and ya I didn't bring personal problems into this thread cause it's a car audio website. Makes you feel better I lost an uncle and grandparent this year. Also my dad almost lost his job cause where he was staying the stairs broke and he fell down one story. Out of work for 8 months while I paid for hydro bills. My mom had a lumped removed and my sister is currently in the hospital. So dude don't bring that in here. This is my sanctuary and I was complaining a little bit about my cars. Let me have that without your "you could be worse" speech because I know
