hey I ran across one of your posts about your hoses having a orange residue due to water pump failure...
https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-trouble-shooting-95/engine-coolant-level-dropping-quickly-daily-230703/ <- On this thread I've posted a picture of something similar that I am experiencing right now! Could you please give me some detail of what parts needed to be replaced or the process you took to fix that? If so I can have a general idea of what I'm going to need to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
