Consumer Description

IPULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY AND MY CAR DIED OUT NO OVER HEATING NO WARNING LIGHT NO ANYTHING. I LOOKED UNDER MY HOOD TO CHECK EVERYTHING AND NOTICED MY COOLANT WAS GONE I THEN POURED MORE INTO IT REALIZING THAT IT WAS ALL GOING OUT OF MY CAR I BUT NOT ONTO THE GROUND. I CALLED AN MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME MY COOLANT LEAKED INTO MY OIL MY WATER PUMP FAILED. IT FAILED INTERNAL TO THE TIMING CHAIN COVER AND DUMPED A LARGE AMOUNT OF COOLANT INTO THE CRANKCASE WHICH THEN CONTAMINATED THE ENGINE OIL AND OVER FILLED THE OIL PAN.
