Thar she blows!!! Old Faithful..........
Okay, so I'm on my way home from work today and I hear this funny noise... kind of a clicking, inconsistent noise. About a minute later steam is coming out from the engine compartment. Luckily, I was about 100 feet from my driveway.
When I opened the hood after letting it cool down for about a half hour, I noticed water running consistently out of the fan housing. I let another hour pass before I removed the radiator cap and added some water. It too ran right out of the fan housing. Also, the fan wobbles (as if it were about to fall off. Although no bolts are loose.
Is this the sign of a blown water pump?
Where can I get a NOS or rebuilt one?
Cost?
Thank you.

I've still got a 6-volt generator and a couple of old water pumps with grease cups on them. I just use 'em to show the neighborhood kids "how it used to be." The idea of "squishing" a glob of grease into the cups with their fingertips grosses 'em out! When they finish going "E-e-e-ew!," I show 'em how to hand-pack wheel bearings. That gets 'em going again!
I've substituted for the auto shop teacher at our local high school a few times, and am amazed with their unwillingness to get their hands dirty!
