I noticed some coolant leaking today. i don't exactly know where the leak is. the dripping is coming off the front of the oil pan/reservoir. buddy says it might be water pump. is the water pump on the passenger side block??

 

yes. the little weep hole is right there. sounds like a water pump to me

 

water pump is on the passengers side.....this might be a stupid shot but look at your radiator and the hoses...maybe it leaking from there

 

Yep, sounds like the water pump. That's exactly where mine was leaking from when mine went (about 6 years ago at 140K miles).

 

whats the repair bill on that look like? seems like a pretty big job. not much room to work.

 

It's definitely do-able, but I opted to have this one done - Mine went about 2 and a half years ago and at the time I was still pretty new to the car. I had it put in for $350. In retrospect, I wish I had replaced the timing chain tensioner while they were at it. You might want to consider that too, as the tensioner is somewhere around 50 bucks and they have to remove it anyway.

 

i c..thats pretty steep..but it is alot of work. thanks for the info.ill call around for quotes. there is an Adelco WP on ebay.is that oem?? who is the oem manufacture of our water pumps.??
