Water leak from bottom of engine
6 Answers
Might be coming out of weep hole. Possible water pump issue. Depending on the engine some are inside and it's a major job. Did you have a look at your oil? If there is a bunch of water in there most likely the pump. Good Luck!
Thanks for the quick response. I checked the oil and it is fine. No water. The leak appears to be coming from a gasket near the bottom of the motor kind of in the center behind the radiator. Any additional thoughts?
Its the water pump gasket and the coolant is moving through the weephole behind the alternator. The waterpump has a double gasket and hopefully the on keeping the coolant and oil apart does fail next. As the the coolant and oil will mix creating a chocolate milkshake in the engine then its ruined. Furthermore, its a common issue and the water pump is attached to the timing chain. So you have to take the engine nearly all the way apart and typically a mechanic charges 1500-3000 to replace it.
