I had my water pump replaces only 2 or 3 years ago. I have a pretty bad coolant leak now. I took off the timing belt cover and I saw the coolant leaking from the bottom of the water pump. I am wondering if anybody has ever had this. Did anyboy ever have one of the bolts come loose? I didn't check to see if all the bolts were tight. Which ones are into the water jacket?

Thanks,
Ken

Water pump torque for bolts = 15 lbs.

The bolts come with waterproofing goop on them. If the center of the pump is not leaking, try torqueing them down first. Because the bolts are hard to reach someone might not have done it properly.

You may have to remove the pump and put in a new gasket. What a pain.
