Overview
The vehicle's engine water pump is responsible for keeping coolant flowing through the engine. As water pumps get old the internal bearing can go bad causing noise and a coolant leak. A good indicator that your water pump is failing is if you see coolant leaking through the water pump "weep hole".
Engine Water Pump Failure Symptoms
-
Coolant leak through weep hole
-
Play at water pump pulley shaft indicating a bad bearing
-
Squeaking noise coming from the pump at idle
-
Overheating conditions
-
Low coolant light on instrument cluster indicating a cooling system leak
