Yes, hopefully it's a gasket! As far as the 10psi water pressure, what rpm
are you checking at? 10psi at idle is fine. It should rise to20-30 at 2000
rpm's or up.
What yr engine do you have? Be sure and check the "air" lines running from
various spots on the cylinders. If one of those breaks you can lean out
the cylinder and eventually ruin it.

All ready bought the impeller. Planned on pulling the head this week.

I hope its the head or head gasket.

Chances are you have a bad head gasket. Some of those engines actually
had
a seperate water jacket on the head. Don't continue to run w/ water in
the
cylinder as it will definetly not last long. Much cheaper to fix now.
Head gaskets are relatively cheap for those engines (35 to 50 bucks).
Pull the head, look around and see if you can find any problems. Should
be
able to find where the water is coming from. If the gasket - go buy a
new
one.
Also - you definetly need to change the impeller. Do the head first,
then
the impeller.

Good luck,
