i'm not sure i want to know the answer to this cos i have a horrible feeling it's going to involve lots of money or the death bell for Pig:(
Been loosing coolant the last 2 weeks, a lot in the last week. so to day i let her run up to temp and had a look for the leak..................... seems to be coming from by the crank pulley:confused: (bottom pulley front of engine) is this really bad news:(:confused:

Sorry...couldn't resist!



Good luck with it....:)
 
ere LB how do you break somthing gently :confused:

would'nt have thought it was a good sign it coming from the crank pulley but i'm sure a more knowledgable peep will come help soon
 
I agree with Storm The water pump is the only thing with coolant in it that is near the front pulley. I would try changing that (Nice easy job, If a bit tight with the rad still in) first.

No leaks around any of the pipes? Does yours have a heater control valve? (On top of the Thermostat? They like to spring leaks :rolleyes:)

sounds like the main pulley shaft seal short term a bit of rad seal might help but would not recommened it best just bite the bullet and get a new pump should be fairly easy to fit if hubs is not all fingers and thumbs :D ;)
