Default LR3 water pump seal leaking
Hi,
my 2005 LR3 HSE with 118k miles is leaking coolant and based on my investigation it seams like the seal is the culprit. If the seal is the main factor for this leak, what would you guys suggest to do? new seal + old pump or new seal + new water pump?

Thanks in advanced, Roberto

Do you know for sure where the leak is coming from?

A usual culprit for the 3 is the Coolant Bleeder Valve (t shaped plastic fitting on top of the block). They tend to crack or explode.
