Water problem

Hi all,
I have found a water leak
. I think it's coming from the water pump. Is the water pump the one at the bottom of the motor (pully)?? If so how much is to much to replace ?
I have a 3lt v6 NJ
Cheers Darryl

the water pump is on the front of the motor behind the timing belt covers, if you got water coming from the bottom of the main crank pulley that would be a good guess I've just replaced mine

How many K has the truck done?
I would consider doing the timing belt and the oil seal at the same tim.
The belt has to come out to replace the pump.
You can buy the pump in front only or complete. The front only option mean's you dont get the rear backing plate ( it depends on where the leak is comming from.) this is a lot cheaper)

Well done,
Did you do the belt etc at the same time?

No, T/belt was not done long ago.
I will change the thermostat as I think it's original one.
Let's hope there are no bolts left over when I put it back together
Cheers Darryl
