Thanks

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,
