Well I decided today that I was going to drive the GT to work instead of the Honda since I haven't drove the GT in a week or so. Got in it this afternoon and cleaned and gased it up. I got about a 45 min drive to work so about half way there in traffic I started to smell antifreeze. Well the first thing I think of is someone is leaking antifreeze. I keep a check on the temp gauge and it is fine. I drive a little further and smell it again. I stop at the gas station near where I work to check everything out. As I cut the car off I hear what sounds like running water. Well I pop the hood and see antifreeze pouring out from near the water pump. So since I'm close to work I fill it up with water and get to work. It never ran hot but I either have a hose with a hole, hose that has came loose, or I need another water pump. So I'm going to fill it up with water again in the morning when I leave here from work and get it home so I can see what is going on. Hopfully it is just a hose!!!!!!!

Oh I'm keeping a close eye on the temp gauge. If it gets even close I'm pulling over. I'm going to fill it with water before I leave and I'm going to take some water with me too

I had kinda the same problem, I kept losing water/antifreeze and it turned out the washer around the drain plug was cracked. Not your problem but

lol no, not going to do that.
Not sure what the problem is yet. I filled it up with water before I left work and it was running out somewhere near the water pump as fast as I was putting it in. The temp gauge never got to the half way point. It was a nice cool morning which helped out alot. I got home and went to bed and didnt get up till time to go to work. When I get off Fri morning I'm going to get into it and find the problem.

Well I found out the problem with the GT the other night, water pump. Well last night at 9pm I decided I would fix it so I did. Finished around midnight. Well to check it out to see if I did a good job I went on the mountain run today and everything went great. Now got to fix my daily driver Honda. Need to get the ignition wiring harness replaced so it will stay running
