in regards to the water pump issue that has been already posted i think i might have to replace mine too but where is this "hole" on the bottom that it will leak from when they have gone bad? cause it looks like the fluids coming out of where the shaft for the fan is on the pump. but its starting to leak pretty bad and i could use some advice. my engine hasnt over heated yet but its losing fluid pretty darn fast!

 

I feel your pain... So far the project has been touch and go. Currently stuck on trying to get the fan off.

 

The weep hole is on the bottom of the water pump. If you can grasp your fan and rock it back and forth more than an inch, most likely the bearings are bad.

 

my vote is berings.

 

well i cant wriggle the fan back and forth like you mentioned above but when the engines on i can see the "wheel" moving like in and out...basically its not spinning as "smooth" as say the pulleys for the alternator and power steering pump and stuff...so is that another indicator that the bearings have taken a poop?!

 

cant get the fan off! (go figure) any suggestions...ordered the wrenchs from DIfflock but would like to be able to return them! so if someone has an ingenious idea on how to get it off please respond back!! or if someones paid a garage to replace it tell me how much you paid or whats a normal price!@!!!!
