Water pump?

[b00zt3d spyd3r]

Went to start my car yesterday and noticed a small puddle of coolant under the timing side of engine. Looked around and it seems to be coming from rights in the area of water pump. I've been told multiple thingstcit ould be. I bought a timing component kit hoping tthat's he issue. What are the chances of having a cracked block? It still starts right up I just won't till I know it's fixed.

It's likely coming from the water pump weep hole. Which would be an indication you need to swap it and your Tbelt/components.

Unlikly its a cracked block, unless you beat it to hell and overheated it and a rod grenaded it you have your doubts get one of those cooling system pressure kits and with the water pump on check it, dont apply more than whats on you radiator cap though so you dont pop anything.

Yeah I don't beat on it at all. Almost 100% is the pump. Ordered a timing component kit will see how that goes

check the oring on the back side of the pump where the transfer tube goes into the pump, ive seen those leak and look like it was coming from the water pump itself.
but if you are doing a timing belt you should do a pump anyways..

He was recommended to me by a dsm buddy of mine in town. Says he wouldn't let anyone else touch his car and he's done same thing for his car
