i cant tell, i dont have a mirror to check, or anyway to tell where exactly its leaking from, ill have to have the mechanic check it out.

damn.,...i just went out with a co worker to check it out, refilled it with water, adn cranked it up...looked under the car, adn it looked like it was pissing water...:( he said that the w/p has a hole in it where it activates when the pump goes bad to allow coolant to get out so the engine dont blo...

well from what I read, bleeding the system doesnt take very long, is there anyway to clean out the water pump without having to buy a new one? I would think there was.

I did jack it up, and its dripping on the edge of the oil pan...so thats why i figured it was comming from my belts area. So, you guys think its my water pump? is that an expensive fix?

Ok, so how do you think i should get the pressure to where it should be to fix the problem? You think too much pressure in the water pump could cause it to leak this bad?

Is a coolant dye available at autozone or anything?
I havent done anything with the waterpump since i got the car almost 5 months ago. And why would it suddenly start leaking randomly after fixing the IAC cooant line? Is that normal? lol

I was thinking that, but why would my water pump suddenly start leaking right after I fixed the busted coolant line on my IAC? Also, i checked my vaccuum lines near the IM, and I cant find any that are disconnected, but my car still has a rolling idle :( What else could be the problem? And I didnt c...

Alright, today I replaced the busted PCV valve hose I used to replace my old coolant hose, with a real, high pressure/temp flex hose. That solved my main coolant leak problem. But now, I have another leak, on the left side of my engine, by my belts. Its a steady drip once my engine is running and I ...

Ah, well I live on the navy base here, you should come here and help me fix my car sometime, haha

Ahh ok, do you ever make it over to lemoore or hanford?

Neither do I ryan..lol. my weekend has been really bad to me...lol...Im taking the car to pepboys on monday to have them give me a wheel balance and alignment, put a hose on my IAC, and see if they can fix my rolling idle problem. but thats only if i can make it home tonight...lol

yea, that is true, but its also good to have a spare. like im sure just about everyone on this forum does...haha. Once I get my own house with my fiance, ill have a nice garage and I can actually really work on my car, instead of dabbling in the street...lol

I worked on it last night, and found that it was in fact, the rubber end of the spark plug wire. So I got that out with a small metal pick, and changed out the spark plug finally... Then I took back out the TB, and put that PCV line where the coolant line was, and put it all back together and fired...

I dont have any of those tools to test my parts...wish I did, would be really helpful

Im not sure how to test it, but i figure replacing old parts now is better than having them crap out on you later
