So I went to change out my water pump today, and just to be safe did a once over of the car. i found this:
I replaced that and my thermostat, and the car seemed fine. I drove it home(about a 30 min drive) and the gauge read about halfway the whole time, it did go up about 2 notches above half, but came back down. Then, I had to go run an errand and the car started to overheat again, I didn't let it get to the red. It got about 1 line before the red before I shut it off. Do you think its still the water pump. or something else...
