Thanks! Is it a ticking time bomb or do I have until Monday?

Default I'm the wrong person to ask here.
But I think you have time... the afterrun pump is typically a slow leak, and doesn't just go all of a sudden.

Ticking bomb. Replace with a 90 deg elbow. After-run pump won't be needed until summer.

Default Mine was leaking right there also. I tried to fiddle with it and...
the electronic pump friggen popped open and coolant spilled out. You can get them brand new from FAP for pretty cheap. GL.

Default I just had to replace mine as well...
2 weeks ago I had the same thing. Taking everything apart to put the new one in...the old pump fell apart.

Replace it soon or bypass it.
