Alright, just talked to my mechanic. He said he couldn't tell what it was w/o pulling the timing belt cover off and he can't do that until Wednesday so I need some advice from all of you intelligent people out there. He said when he hooked it up to his pressure machine it leaked much worse than if he just let the engine run at its own pressure. He said it was leaking in the front and in the back. He said it could be a faulty water pump that they replaced a couple months ago or it could be a head gasket leaking on the outside.

Has anyone had this happen before and if so, what was wrong? Does anyone have any ideas? What are the chances of it being just a faulty water pump, or a bad head gasket? How much is a head gasket replacement goona cost me? Also, if it is the head gasket and it doesn't leak bad when the engine's running, can it be something i can just not replace for a little while and run the car that way it is? Please help me b/c I need some sort of relief, if I can get any. Thanks!!
