just had the water pump out and its well knackered and the water was ****ing out of the seal where it links to the power steering pump, no damage caused to this as it is sealed. Its not at all handy to remove the water pump on a td5 , but then is anything easy on these ? Anyway i found it...

ah well dave i just thought i would mention it. nrgserv the hole you are talking about - the drain , if it was ****ing water would that indicate a faulty water pump ? i have sealed in for now with leak fix as i thought it had corroded its way through or the likes , will i do any harm now i have...
