i have noticed that my coolant level has been getting low. not on a regular basis, i check it once every couple of months. i don't think it's the head gaskets it's a newer engine, any ideas
i it's a newer engine
could be a small radiator leak.
Does this mean new water pump is due? I've been going at this for a year now.
hey where did you get the pump at i`ve having the same issue i tho.. it was just me.
I know this is an old thread but I just realized my water pump is leaking from the bottom, but only when I remove the coolant filler cap. After I screw the coolant filler cap back on the leaking stops. Is this just another sign of a bad water pump? Does taking the cap off allow the pressure to flow more freely? I thought it was a little odd.
WP 's should not leak at all. If yours does,at any time thats not good.
Its obviously not good. The low coolant light was coming on, then the belt broke. While replacing the belt I removed the filler cap on for the coolant and antifreeze began leaking from the bottom of the water pump.
Ill be getting a new water pump soon. Anyone know if a 97-98 water pump is the same as a '96?
Thanks.
