Cars, argh

Sunday our landlady offered us a free parking space in the building garage for our secondary car. The secondary car has already shown its disdain for the new arrangement by puking coolant all over the garage floor.

We've known we had a coolant leak for a couple of weeks and have just been adding coolant and water as needed (p.r.n. ;-)). But it seems to have hit a critical level of leakage now. Unfortunately, getting it fixed is not an option till next weekend. So I suppose we'll be adding water (better than coolant for the garage floor) on a regular basis and I'll be picking up some generic kitty litter tonight to try to clean up the mess before our poor landlady sees it. (She spent Sunday flattening boxes left behind by tenants and squashing them into the recycling bins--she doesn't need this too.)

Danke. :-)

Hey, if I didn't laugh, I'd have to kill something. Like a car, maybe.

Any idea where it's leaking from? Could it be as simple as a cracked or leaking hose?

Unfortunately I think it may be the waterpump. :-P

The liquid is dripping off the engine block.

you could take some squashed and flattend cardboard boxes and lay them down under the kitty litter. will make it easier to clean up! :)

I threw one down under the car last night, and didn't have the heart to look this morning and see how drenched it was. ;-) Good thing is, if I can beat the recycling truck to the bins, I've pretty much got my choice of boxes to flatten.

Cars, cats, it's always the same -- never satisfied and always making messes. But we wouldn't want to go without either of them. ;)

The difference is that the cats always make me happy, and the cars give me freedom. Sort of.
