does the waterpump only have coolant going through it when the thermostat is open? im thinking i cant get any coolant to leak when im looking cause its so damn cold out that the car wont warm up to 180 to open the stat. i did look at the weep hole though and it does look like there has been some moisture in and around it, and a little bit of buildup of some sort too, i guess the coolant film standing on things underneath there could attract dust and dirt and all buildup to what im finding, still not sure about the oil though, is there a seal that can be replaced around the sensor (pressure sensor?) in the side of the oilpan, i guess i could change the drainplug gasket too next time i change the oil
