Default You Think This Was The Problem?

Spent my afternoon off pulling this beast out, you reckon this is where my coolant leak was from? Got me a new stewart hi-flo and a 160 stat to go with my chip, so I should be cool as a cucumber!

Looks like the leak to me.

Don't you love doing a water pump job ? ;)

Looks like the water is comming out of the blead hole. It does that when the seal goes out in the water pump. The blead hole allows the water to run out before it gets to the front bearing.

Be glad you don't have an opti-crap sitting there below it.... Otherwise you would get to spend as much money as I did replacing it and everything down there instead of just the waterpump... :(
