Yesterday morning I was looking under my hood and I noticed that I was leaking water. It looked like the leak was coming from the water pump.I had to get to work, which is close by so I topped off the radiator and went to work. When I got to work I looked under the car and saw no leaking. I figured the radiator had ran dry although the car hadn't overheated, After work I started to fill the radiator to get home. I saw that I had leaked a little fluid but not much. I topped it off and picked up my son then went home. No overheating. No leaking. Today I've ran several errands and I've had no problems. What do you think was going on with my water pump yesterday?
the seal in the water pump is going bad causing it to leak witch i would probably have the water pump replaced
Sounds like a leaky gasket on pump...A suggestion : Remove lower raditor hose let old coolant drain..Maybe replace thermostat.. Refill with fresh Prestone...Check water pump bolts for tightness . Replace any hoses etc... if needed
Yes underneath the pump is a small hole that will show a leak when the pump is on it's way out. Get it changed NOW.
you do not purchase an element like that from OKorder. you purchase it from autozone or a save the position you are able to take it again if it truly is no longer the right one. bypass to the autozone website, save your vehicle it is going to pull up what's accessible for that area grant you with a cost. then you actually can bypass purchase it on the shop. i love their web site too because you are able to type in 'sensor' it is going to pull up each and each of the sensors for that vehicle. That facilitates at the same time as attempting to be sure out what it would want to be. Btw, you want to scrape the engine block floor incredibly good with a razor blade a putty knife in all likelihood use some type of solvent to sparkling it or you'll remorseful about it. do no longer purchase a remanufactured water pump both. you'd be redoing it in 5 yrs. Oh i meant you may want to in case you hardly ever rigidity the vehicle, yet no longer in case you rigidity it commonplace.
If you're seeing the drip from just behind the pulley, the pump seal is probably leaking...while it may not be much now, it will only get worse, so take it to a shop for verification of the leak and replacing the water pump...
