feckin COOLANT LOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after locating the oil leak to a missing bolt on the front cover, tightening it and it sealing i noticed COOLANT LOSS from the little hole on the water pump housing.

any idea why it started when i put the bolt in???

it was only a dribble but obviously with my recent shinanagans with the block i got worried straight away. so i have put a bottle of barrs leaks fluid in and its stopped the leak. i'm assuming it is something miss aligned???

or maybe bearing going in w/pump.

i'd like to know what it is before i change the water pump.

anyway, its all up and running and back on the road, for now at least!!

Thought it was going to be something interesting like "an orgy with women who all have STD's" or "sex roulette" (where only one has an STD)

How do you know there was nothing wrong with the water pump Gav??:beer2::beer2:

gavbriggs · May 30, 2009

cos it pumped water and didnt leak!! its a very simple device, water- wet stuff used to cool engine, pump-device or action of moving or transporting wet stuff!

water pump

noun
the pump in the cooling system of an automobile that cause the water to circulate

othr than that i have no idea of its codition, it was a little rusty but i would expect that after 13 ears submerged well mostly submerged exepting the events of recently)

engine - floor

there is a small hole in the pump housing and i believe it signals the bearing has gone. the bars leak fluid sorted it tho!!
