Uh Oh... Serious issues on the horizon... More than what I at first expected
This is regarding my original post about myself leaking Coolant... Well I posted this earlier today and just after I did... all hell begins to break loose...
Not only am I constantly leaking Antifreeze but...
#1 Car started running stronger than ever. Would lurch out with just barely tapping the gas... Would take virtually no effort to get 4th to 2nd shifts ... really felt like more power at first...
#2 Whenever I put the car in park, the RPMS LEEP to 1.5K and idle there
#3 Only when its in Drive, and stopped... The Oil Gauge Drops to the red mark and bounces between there and 40...
#4 Car will no longer shift into ANY gear below 2.5K RPMS regardless of how fast or slow I am going...
Whats the deal?

Nope no SES or codes at all...It says everything is peachy keen...
Now today when I started it, everything was fine asside for the fact it was still leaking coolant. Oil Pressure was stable, RPMS were stable, would shift normally... but it still feels somewhat stronger than it normally does.. ...maybe I've only been driving on 7 cylenders until today???
...
I drove it to school and back mainly for the fact I had no choice but to, and when I finally got back home and put it in park the RPMS began to surge again. It will still go into gear though.. .. Oil pressure remained stable.. ..but whenever I put it into Park the RPMS automatically surge.
I know the leak has to be coming from the Water Pump. Was there anything special I was supposed to do during installation seeing as though I've replaced it only 6 months back?

Found the problem... A relatively simple one but the underside of my TB Bypass Hose bursted which leaked coolant DIRECTLY onto the belts ONLY when the car was running. When the belts would get wet enough they would slip causing the car to rev easier - higher than before... ...When I put it in park then since the belts were slipping, it would idle alot higher than normal. Basically I replaced the hose and everything is back to normal...
