So... I think I'll have to loosen the cap of the resevoir and just drive on. Wish me luck! My wife and I will be praying this thing makes it.

Sounds like there are some mixed reviews on water pump leaks. I'll have to keep a close eye on that temp gauge.
I drove the SD for over 500 miles with the pump leaking coolant. Finally, the leak became too much to ignore and I didn't take it to CT on the next trip.

I think you'll be fine. I believe you've got an expansion tank low coolant level sensor.........correct? If so, that will warn you well before you get into any problems.
