Sounds like new water pump time. Take off serp belt and check for any movement in water pump pulley. If leaking you will see coolant running down timing cover on right side engine.

I took the tension off the belt and can wiggle the water pump pulley. I still have the 7/70000mi warranty so I guess I will take it to the dealer. I called and asked the dealer if they have water pumps in stock and I cant believe the cost. Its like $350 and NAPA wants $85. Crazy. Is the oem pump better?

I don't know if the water pump is any different at all.... I would rather put my pump on myself and know it was done right than to take it to our dealer here in town. JMHO tho, to each his own.

Its your pump.......you can do it yourself for 60 to 80 bucks and it takes 15 minutes......once the old one is off you will see how loose your old water pump pulley is......I had the exact same rust below the pump and it was hard to figure out where it was leaking. I did mine at 120k....

Wow thats amazing that rockauto.com seels it for so much less. I just got back from having the dealer do it. It cost $100 because it is still under warranty. Next time i will go through rock auto or napa.
