The pump is pretty straightforward to replace. The other leaks get more interesting and involved to fix. The overflow tank is another area that is notorious for cracks. That one is super easy to find and fix. I am chasing a few leaks of my own so I share your pain.

Thanks for sharing your experience and good luck with those leaks.


I have been driving around hoping to repeat the leak issue and now it does not happen anymore. I have purchased a new water pump incase needed but no leak so far. I have checked the overflow tank and there is no leak there.



I may try the pressure test to see what happens..


Thanks,


Ozzie
