Something else you can give burl, get hold of a bottle of Goss Chemi-weld for approx. $10. Follow the destruction manual on the bottle to the letter, it may temporarily (2-3 months) seal any slight cracks you may have. I put this stuff in my SII RX-7 that had a major dribble hole from the radiator, and it sealed it better than any of the others i tried before it.
If you want to find out for sure, rip the head off and take it to a head shop for a crack/pressure test.

possibly but its a newish one...
its losing quite a bit of water and drips alot compared to a normal gem out of the overflow...
but fuck knows. no water leaks out of the waterpump when the car is stopped. |
