Good info here, and many thanks to Biddle for posting sources for parts and pictures.
My 03 with 84K sprung a coolant leak behind the water pump. Not sure exactly what part yet. When the system is under pressure it leaks, if I leave the degas bottle cap loose it doesn't leak. In the short term until I investigate what part I need, is it OK to drive with that cap loose? I assume the boiling temperature will go down. I did drive it around town that way, some stops and restarts. Ambient air temp in the 70s. Temp gauge in middle like normal.
