Dreaded Water Pump - Leak on Passenger Side

[peterk9]

Yea. It takes like 3-5 seconds to start and runs for maybe 2-3 seconds. Doesn't sound right at all. Sounds muffled and can smell heavy gas odor.

Could very well be the timing chain then. Looks like it will have to be towed to the dealership.

Yea I have appointment at dealer next week but found a mechanic said he'd look at it. Can damage be done to engine if timing is off?
