hi all have found a water leak on my 96 uk2000 turbo , with out the engine even running when you poor water in the rad top hose it pi$$es out not even under pressure! ive located the area and it seems to be where the dip stick is it leaking down from there.

ive checked hoses all ok and it seems to be coming from above the pipes.as i have the aircon pump and alternator off i can see its not from above .
looks like water pump maybe ? seems alot of leakage with no engine pressure
anyone had a problem like this

 

is there any other water sorces that can leak around the water pump battery side,

 

i had the same problem last year m8 its difficult to see there is a tell tale hole on the top of the water pump thats where it comes out ! new pump from euro carparts was 60 quid i think ...
