So I woke up this morning, feeling great and heading to a TRD meet looking for some supra action. Then I heard this sqeaky sound coming from under the hood. At first I tought it was a drivebelt slipping, but when the car came a little hotter, it didn't stop. I pulled over to have a look under that hood and noticed that a little smoke was coming out of the timing belt cover. I think it's coming from the water pump and that the bearing might be weared.
Has anyone of you guys experienced this before? What do you think about this and can I still drive it a little just to get to a good garage? Since I don't have time neither the tools to do it myself... Thanks for looking! -------------------- -PHILI-  |

Im sure you could source the parts for around 100 or so (belt, tensioners, gaskets, springs, water pump, etc). But yeah, alot of places charge the proverbial "arm and a leg" for work. Add parts, plus 70-90 an hour/labor and it adds up quick. With parts, a friend, and a guide (chiltons, BGB, 6gc threads) you can have it done in about a day for 1/4 the price.
