Re: [FWDLK] Fuel pump installed...coolant leak

I guess I'm missing something here, I've seen fuel pumps leak gas and
also leak oil, but I don't get where coolant would come from?

Hi Garrett,
 
Crawl under the car with a flashlight and look for the little hole on the bottom of the water pump by the pulley, chances are you?ll see evidence of cooling dripping there, sometimes the leak comes and goes each time you drive the car and park, usually a sign it is time for a rebuilt pump though soon!

Hey all,

I just installed my freshly rebuilt fuel pump today (thanks to Then and Now Automotive, it looks great).  I'm pretty sure it wasn't installed correctly, but have already done some searching on the forums and think I have that issue solved.

The next issue to arise is that, while cranking the engine after the fuel pump install, coolant started leaking I believe from somewhere on the bottom side of the water pump.

Is it possible the seals dried out while the car was sitting (the coolant level always seemed stable, but it was a little low today.  I never saw a puddle under the car)?  Is this a "definitely needs replaced" scenario or based on the experience of others is it possible the the gaskets may reseal after being exposed to the coolant?  I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but am always hopeful.

Thanks,
Garrett
