water pump would have an obvious leak, it would be more of a spray all through your engine compartment and leave puddles under the car. Check around the pump and see if it's wet, that'll tell you if that's it

@ JR. - thanks for the correction, I was in no was trying to convey that I knew everything about everyone's car - only that I knew the jist ~ or things that one normally notices...
the way you typed it out, it makes your mod list seem quite extensive.

so i found where the leak was now it is figuring out how to bend the pipe that runs coolant behind the motor from the water pump apparently alot of the aftermarket headers do this and you just need to move the pipe

typically aftermarket parts do require twaeking, or extreme due care & attention when installing in an otherwise stock car...
the header on my Grand Am is a great example of this... PITA to put it lightly - but WELL worth the work
BTW - that's a seriously awesome sig!

So i am just going to put my stock header back on and buy my downpiep and have an exhaust shop install it for me cause i dont know how i would go about moving this pipe

Chris - just give me a call at the end of your shift , I think I can remember how to find your place.... hopefully.
I'd say just leave teh header in place - we'll figure out a fix;
odds are even if you have a shop swap it, they will encounter the same issue you're seeing...

Sportlines getting installed tomorrow, and then carbon fiber hood on wednesday.
Anyone doing anything Friday night? I was wanting to see what the car will do on the quarter, more of a baseline for mods to come. Gotta have someting to compare it to.
