Ok so I just installed a new OEM fit Koyo rad. and new hoses and clamps. My Rad had cracked last a couple weeks ago and Ive only driven it once since then.(just back to my house after discovering what was wrong at a friends house)
I followed all the instructions in the FSM. It was a super easy install. Then, I was pouring in 7 qts. of new coolant and i noticed my feet getting wet. I inspected, and saw coolant was leaking from my waterpump/pulley assy.
The part of the waterpump that connects to the mech. fan pulley has a small drain-sized hole in the bottom. I cant tell whether thats supposed to be there or not. It obviously supposed to be plugged at least bc im sure 6 out of the 7 qts of coolant is on my driveway now.
please if anyone can help itd be much appreciated.
