Tried that and saw smoke, not sure if I should let it go much further (car was running).

Wiped everything down again aftwards and crawled under the car, The cloest thing to a suspect I found was potentially a hose. Im more likely just going to let it sit in the drive way until I can afford to get it checked out.


Do these type of repairs usually cost a lot? Lets say in theory its either a hose or the pump, or whats the worst case scenario. Gotta have an idea so I know how much money I should gather up to do it. I know its shoot and miss but a rough idea will help.

I appreciate everyones help big time, im usually a very technical person. I dont know if its my nerves or what but I just cant seem to figure this out on my own.
