B-Lugg Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Sup. I have been blessed with an almost rust free shell, my engine bay managed to soak up all the rust... I have been attempting to start the repairs my cleaning out my cooling system however, shortly after I changed over my radiator it sprung a leak. All my hoses and everything aren't leaking and it's a bit of a bugger to trace back. I'll bang up some photos and if you could give me a hand identifying/tracing back the leak. Having no actual cooling problems while driving, engine is still strong and stays cool. It's dumping a considerable amount of water/coolant even though it's just a consistent drip. There is no leak when the car is off, only when the coolant is flowing... Dripping off Highest I can trace to Edited April 30, 2013 by B-Lugg Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Probably the water pump. Looks like its spraying water all around that area. Easy fix. Quote
philbey Posted May 1, 2013 Report Posted May 1, 2013 Yep water pump. They have a tiny little hole behind the shaft seals that is designed t leak when the seal dies, so you can tell its time to replace the pump. That's most likely where it's coming from. Quote
