Sign In Well xmas day my 96 isuzu bighorn 3.1td started pouring out coolant from underneath the crank pulley. Seemed to be the waterpump as myself and family members thought, we have very basic knowledge of vehicles. So I buy a replacement, and get to pulling it out. It looks fine to my untrained eye. All the fins are intact, gasket looks good. There is a tiny bearing noise when spinning it though. Should I install the new pump now or is there something else I should look at behind the timing cover before closing it all up?

The seals go bad and it leaks through a weep hole under the pulley. Look for a coolant stain coming out of that hole. If it has any bearing growl at all, that's reason enough to change it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. triikor New User Dec 25, 2015, 6:04 PM Post #3 of 3 (1271 views) Re: Leak - water pump? urgent reply needed. Sign In The weep hole on the water pump itself is stained up with coolant, so is under the crank pulley. Thanks for the fast reply, I'll get to installing now. Hope it all works as I'm meant to be driving just under 200km tomorrow.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
