Thanks to everybody who responded!

Are you saying that if I drive the car a few more miles the accumulator should get back up to pressure, assuming that's the problem?

And as for the water pump, is that a thing you wait on till it blows for good, or replace immediately for fear of permanent damage when it blows? I'm pretty sure I can handle the repairs...
