hi guys
im leaking coolent from my GQ,
I degreaced the engine bay so i chould have a nice clean look, ive gone over all hose claps, and leaks more when running.

From what i can figure, its cumming from the main pully, so im thinking maybe the water pump??? :roll:

The radator did get plusted with mud on the weekend couising a higher temp but nothing damaging.

How can i test if it is a water pump?
or
Does anyone else have any ideas.

cheers ;)

I would get it pressure tested to see exactly where its leaking. Local mechanic/radiator shop would with minimal outlay.

Sounds like your water pump bearing seal. You can take it to a readiator shop and get it pressure tested. That will show it for sure. Although not much else it could be if you can see the leak already. Probably just get a new pump!
