Coolant leak. Water pump?
Hey everyone,
Had small amount of coolant leak right in front towards driver side last week. The amount was good enough to lower the red gauge all the way down but not enough to trigger a warning or overheating..
I looked from top and did not see anything but looking from under, I saw there was a minor leak from both sides of the water pump but I did not actually see it was from the water pump. I quickly thought it would be from the weep hole and ordered a new water pump as caution.
I topped off the coolant and drove around a bit for couple of days and now I do not see any leak.
Would that leak be the first sign of the water pump going? (I remember changing the water pump about 10+ years ago)
Thoughts please?
Thanks,
Ozzie
