Default Water pump?

I took a short video to show you guys (and gal's) a sound I've been hearing.


I think that its coming from the water pump, and I've been loosing fluid; it appears to be somehow getting on the fan and being whipped all around the engine compartment. So I bought a new water pump and an efan and controller, probably going to install tomorrow night. Well see if that fixes it. Thanks!

hard to tell from a video where the sound is from. Could be any pulley really.

By the location of the drip i would guess the lower rad hose, but it could be tracking down that way. Have you gotten under it while running to take a look?

Try pulling of the belt and spinning all the Lilly's you can just to make sure none of them are making the noise.

There is a little wet mark coming from the weep hole. I got a new pump, how hard is it to install?

On a 5.0, it is easy. No special tools are required. Just make sure you clean the surface properly and RTV it as necessary.

It's easy if no bolts break.
