Default Water Pump leaking need advise

Sup all,
I have a '94 civic that has a leaking water pump. I am completely broke at the moment and can't afford to get the sucker fixed. Will it be detrimental if I continue to drive it for a month going about 70 miles a day? It doesn't over heat yet but I do need to put in coolant on occasion. Do you think she will last? I don't want to damage the timing belt and have the engine explode but I need to get to work. Any help would be great. Thanks

Save some money.. cause if you keep driving it your eventually just going to cause more and more problems..

new water pump is like 50.00

You shouldn't have a car if you can't afford to take care of it

fix if befor the bearing fails, and it will chew up the timing belt, then it will be more to buy a new engine.

70 miles is alot.

just get it fixed or your going to have to pay alot more later on.

put it on a credit card if you can and then pay it asap.

yeah, 70 is a lot....and eventually it's going to leak a lot more causing more problems. so get it fixed. waterpumps are like 35-55 dollars. it probably be around 200-250 to have fixed
