What is going on? (video inside)
hey guys, ok so as of 2 days ago I started noticing a little bit of a squeaking noise, then today it turned into a slight grinding. I also noticed some kind of goo coming from what appears to be the thermostat housing. it doesn't look like its coming from the water pump.
on a possibly related note, about 3 days ago i noticed a grinding when accelerating from a stop.
any leads? thoughts? opinions?
thanks

The sound, there's not too much in that area that can make a grinding sound other than the pump. Also are you sure that the "goo" is not comming out of the front of the water pump and getting slung up on the t-stat housing by the pump pulley? Just because it is semi-new doent mean that it cant be bad. Bearings are'nt made like they used to be.
