the car has been running fine, what could be causing this?

Al_S14 · 01-04-2006, 05:30 PM

i woudl bet money that its coming from the water pump and then gets blown down to the pan.

CHARLIE2020 · 01-04-2006, 05:35 PM

Water pump

devonkyle77 · 01-04-2006, 05:37 PM

does that mean my water pump is bad and needs replaced?

devonkyle77 · 01-04-2006, 05:37 PM

if the water pump is bad, shouldnt it be overheating?

orion::S14 · 01-04-2006, 06:43 PM

Could be leaking ot the weep hole...which is a built-in feature to let you know the pump is dying.

That will not necessarily mean overheating.

how difficult is it to replace the water pump yourself?

nsn240 · 01-04-2006, 07:50 PM

not hard at all... unbolt pulley, take of belt, unbolt pump/brackets and reinstall

Dousan_PG · 01-04-2006, 08:40 PM

super easy to do
doesnt take long

id replace the water pump too if i were u

projectRDM · 01-05-2006, 08:52 AM

With the fan and shround in place, 23 minutes.
Without, 11 minutes.

devonkyle77 · 01-06-2006, 02:55 PM

can anyone tell me where i can find a diagram of what needs to be removed to remove the waterpump?

SirWarrior · 01-06-2006, 04:22 PM

clutch fan - Thats it :P

Al_S14 · 01-06-2006, 04:36 PM

as SirWarrior said just the clutch fan.
drain the coolant
remove top part of fan shroud
remove water pump/ps belt
remove the fan (4 10mm nuts)
unbolt 4 12mm bolts holding water pump
once you install new pump make sure you bleed the system. when filling up coolant jack up front of the car as high as you can remove 10mm bleeder bolt on top hose housing and pour coolant untill it starts to come out of the bleeder hole.
if you dont do taht properly car will overheat

devonkyle77 · 01-06-2006, 06:20 PM

top radiator hose... follow it to the head ... as soon as you get to the head you will see a 10mm bolt. ill see if you can get a pic for you . make sure you dont overtighten it tho if it brakes youre in for a world of pain. it doesnt take much torque for it not to leak
