Hello
HELP ANYONE!
I am about to purchase a 1990 ford tauras from a private owner. All seems to run well, however she said she has noticed a bit of smoke from undre the hood over the last 6 months, but did not affect driving. It apparantly isn not a lot of billowing smoke or she could not have conitnued to drive it for the past 6 months.
She had a mechanic look at it and he told her it was awater pump going bad and possibley burning surface oil from small normal oil leaks.
My question is obvious... does anyone know if this smoke problem is indeedd froma bad water pump, or if i should check swomething else out first. If i just have to replace the water pump no prob, but i dont want to risk having a head going bad or something.
ANY IDEAS?
Thank you,
Nick
