Question:

My water pump is leaking?

i have a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse and my Car started to leak water and as soon as i start to put water it starts to leak and it wont take in the water that has on the side as well. what should i do or what do you recommend?

Answer:

don,t drive it or it will overheat. it could be the by-pass hose leaking instead of the pump.
go to a mechanic,,I don't trust you to make a proper diagnosis
you must stop driving the car.
Check the hoses first.
You did not mention the sub-model of your eclipse (if it is a spyder or not) so there is no way to know the engine option, the2.0L (non-turbo) the 2.0L (turbo) or the 2.4L? But you don't have too many options! If the water runs out of it as soon as you put it in then obviously you cannot drive it or you will do further damage to the vehicle. You need to be able to see where it is coming from (as it shouldn't be too hard by the amount it is leaking. If the water is coming out from behind the timing cover then there is an issue with the pump, but, as the other poster said, it may also be a split hose!
