water puddle
On the top of my waterpump where there is a little dip, water always builds up there. Not alot but a little puddle. It looks like its comming from a little whole in the back of the water pump. what could be my problem?

RE: water puddle
i did my water pump recently and it was leaking in the exact same area.
the gasket is probably leaking and when u drive down the road its collecting there
hope it aint the timing chain cover

RE: water puddle
You dont have a chrome gooseneck do you? We do and it leaked there all the time. We finally fixed the leak using pipe dope and teflon tape.

RE: water puddle
Whats a weap hole? I just looked at it and the two little holes on the back top of the water pump are leaking a little. Are those the weap holes?

RE: water puddle
replacing that should be a priority
