Continuation of previous problem.

Continuation of previous problem.
Today I noticed a puddle under my car. Even in the hot summer it hadn't evaporated. Well I haven't driven the car for 2 days so it can't be the A/C condensation.
I lift the car and find a drop forming near my water pump pulley, steadily dripping ever 20 seconds. So I call "Shop B" and tell them I'm on my way.
A half mile later my car starts to warm up. Then I get an overheat warning. I turn the A/C off and open the windows. I get another warning, I slow down. Half way there I get a half engine light and partial power. Then I get an oil light and I smell strong coolant burning. I pull over and see this. (See Pic) Thinking I need a warranty repair I call "Shop A" that first replaced the thermostat last August. They are booked until the 14th. I need my car sooner than that.
So I make it to "Shop B" and they are taking care of my repair problem. However I now have to talk to "Shop A" that did the original work and see if they will refund the repair, or at least the thermostat. I also have to wonder about the detonation and possible damage that happened during this fiasco and will "Shop A" cover that as well.
**** my life!
