HELP...coolant leak...NOT h/gasket.
 

Hi all, my car's in the garage at the moment to have all engine seals, head gaskets and cambelt changed due to the start of head gasket problems.

Rang garage ( trusted ex-scoob main delaer mechanic ) for progress report and although all new items fitted and car running, there's still a leak from somewhere near water-pump housing. It's defo not gasket, seal or hose and is at least 3" from cylinder heads, neither is it t/stat housing.

Anyone any ideas?

I need my scoob back ASAP.

Thanx.

Si.

sounds like the release valve on the water pump....................if they are that switched on its an easy find...............

hope ian sorts out your motor asap so he can sort mine out ;-) but i have the same fault me thinks but i think is a gasket on mine grrr ;-(.

Stockcar, spot on mate, release valve on water pump was dripping down across manifold and down near block, Ian found it this morning, no idea why it decided to go now though but glad it did while in garage.

New pump fitted and car now back on road.

Thanx for the replies guys.

You're next Swifty.

i am getting more & more upset as my car stays in for the repair/ upgrades but i know ian will get it all done asap & Right, so i will be out more & more when my baby comes back home ;-).
