I've noticed after driving my car for a while recently it squeals while accelerating. I'm wondering if its the water pump cause I've had a coolant leak for a while. I poured alluminum sealer in the reservoir and its stopped the leak almost completely though. If it was a broken pump, would this sealer have stopped the leak like it has? I drive a 2000 saturn sl2
If you have ample room to change a water pump, go for it; however, keep in mind some cars use that belt for timing. If the belt is also a timing belt, take it your branded dealer.
Coolant from water pump can leak on the belts and cause a squeal. So get some belt dressing to stop that. All things can be fixed with cans from auto stores. Fix a flat is good stuff too.
it could be, the sealer causes more problems than they fix. you will need to clean your cooling system,heater core and radiator and all your hoses.
