For some reason my truck is leakin coolant. It was leakin a while back from the bottom of the water pump and I replaced the water pump and it stopped . But for reason it looks like its leakin from the same spot. Anybody got any ideas or tips any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks





appappreciatedthanks

 

did you get a reman water pump? Could have gotten a bad one out of the box

 

Check the hoses around the pump. They can look like a pump leak.

 

Or timing cover

 

I have all new hoses and the water pump was brand new, and ill check the timing thanks yall

 

What engine do you have first of all? Because if it's the straight 6, the timing cover isn't by the water pump lol

 

It's a 302

 

Well I got nothing for you then

 

Check the longer bolts on pump.. They run into the water passages where they go into the block. I usally put some teflon tape on threads when I install them. And smear little anti sieze on smooth part of bolts. That helps with those bolts from getting stuck in timimg chain cover.

 

You reckon I should try that to see if its stops leakin?
