Thread: Water pump leak- will i make it?

I have coolant leaking from the water pump on my td5. I assume the pump has died. It is only a slow leak. ie an inch in 2 days

Will I be able to make the 3 hour drive on the Hume highway home if I top up the reservoir and keep an eye on it with my tm2 temp gauge?

Cheers
Matt

That's what I figured. Thanks Scott.
