Looks like I am leaking copious amounts of engine coolant. I was getting my oil changed (thats right, I pay someone to do it, I'm lazy and its cold here right now), and they showed me where I had Dexcool sticking to the underside of my car. They checked some kind of plug, said it was fine, and suggested that I might need to get a new water pump / fix the current one. ****.

If thats the case, I am going to get an electric water pump and free up some horsepower if possible. Any suggestions?

Not much to suggest, if you want an electric water pump the meisure(sp) heavy duty one.

not many electric ones are suitable for street use they burn up fast

Really? So you would probably suggest sticking with a belt-driven one?

I got a buddy of mine from the car club who is a F-Body guru (he built a 383 LT1 that runs low 11s ).....hopefully he can figure out whats wrong.

you just have to be careful witht eh electric (they can also cost horsepower if you have too many other electrical components since they draw power away from the ignition)
