Question:

99 Ram 1500 5.2 Leaking below the water pump?

My Ram is leaking collant bad but it doesnt seem to be coming from the water pump it seems like it is coming from directly below the water pump. What part is this and is it even possible for this part to be leaking coolant?

Answer:

pump bad or a hose above pump leaking 90% of time pump bad get a flashlight to see more or get a better look have it put on a lift at a shop but most likey water pump gone
There is a weep hole in the water pump housing on the underside of the shaft. When the seal goes out, coolant will leak from this hole. If you get a mirror, you can see it, or go to a parts store and ask to see one. You need a water pump. If you wait too long and the bearing goes out completely, you may be 40 miles from home with no coolant in your radiator.
there is about 99% chance that it is your water pump.
