Leaking coolant from pipe possibly

[jay_wurts]

The car is the 96 eclipse 420a n/t, I think that its possibly leaking from the pipe on the back of the water pump. I read there was a o-ring that sits in a groove in that pipe so i wanted to start there before taking off the timing belt/ect to see if that will help solve my problem. My question...What all would i have to do to remove the pipe,install a new o-ring and re-install correctly,clamps,tools whatever else. Any help is appreciated!

Basic hand tools is all you need.

A touch of oil or greese is helpfull.

There is a tang or two built on the water pipe that holds it in place.

Remove the hold down bolts, remove the oild O ring, install the new, a whipe of oil or greese on the O ring and the bore.

Reassemble...
