Water Pump

[ThaDyce17]

I'm trying to figure out if my water pump needs replacing. When i stop I notice a puddle of water directly under my engine. When I get onto the highway ill notice the car get almost all the way up to the red then cool down out of nowhere and get back to operationg temp. I think I can kinda see some moisture behing the actually pulley part of my Pump. This is on a 3.4L do u guys think its the pump? And can the pumpforce water out of the coolant resivoir if its not working correctly.... I know I spelled that wrong

Re: Water Pump

check the weep hole behind the pulley. or pressure test it if you have access to a pressure tester.

Re: Water Pump

If thats leaking wld it be wet say....directly behing the pulley? Because it looks a little wet but its really hard to see on the 3.4L

Re: Water Pump

Yes, the water pump has a weep hole that leaks, indicating that it needs replaced...
