" It suddenly showed steam and I noticed the tell-tail wasn't squirting. I've tried running it with the thermostat cover off and the thermostat out- no water comes out. It did come out of the tell-tail however, for a while! Then it stopped. I looked at the impeller- it looked good. The water tube seems clear. One thing that bothers me is the exhaust that comes from the thermostat hole and the tell-tail(when it isn't aquirting)- is this normal? I know that the water outlet is in the exhaust so I can understand why exhaust my go back up the water system, but shouldn't the water pressure overcome that? Is this a water pump problem or could it be a combustion leak? If it is a combustion leak, is it the head gasket or could it be the exhaust cover? Or should I just tear everything down and replace these gaskets and the pump? How can I figure this out?
