[Noodles]

So it's not the drain ****, that's attached to the radiator properly.
No leakage from the therm gasket.
When I get under there after filling with water and watch it leak... it's scary fast, and coming out of many locations all around the pump. It's as if the damned thing exploded! Looks like it's time to replace it.

**edit: wow at censoring the word for male rooster which is used in auto parts jargon
