girlvr6 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi guys, just wondered if anyone has any ideas what this is...Have noticed that the car is losing water/coolant from the header tank. Looked under the car and it is dripping slowly (but it only does it when the engine gets hot), from the left hand side of the engine, from somewhere underneath, I assume its near the water pump?Recently had the headgasket done so I had the radiator and water pump checked and told they were all fine, also had a new thermostat. Any ideas what it could be?!!Thanks guys :-p Link to post Share on other sites
dellert 0 Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Which left hand side? Left from inside or outside the car? Link to post Share on other sites

girlvr6 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Sorry, should have said left from the inside of the car, the side where the airfilter etc sits. As far as I know all gaskets were renewed! Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 likely the main water pump then. I've read of the internal bearing seals failing a few times. Or possibly the o-ring between the pump and the feed pipe from the thermostat housing.TG Link to post Share on other sites

dellert 0 Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Think i would agree with that diagnosis, not a lot else watery on that end! Link to post Share on other sites
girlvr6 0 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yes you were right!! It is the water pump (again-only had a new one under 2 years ago!)!! Getting a new one fitted as we speak! Fingers crossed that will be it for now! Link to post Share on other sites
