waterpump coolant leak

[usafnotch]

Hey guys, just noticed today on my notch, I have a coolant leak from under my water pump. Could this be just a gasket? Only leaks when I drive the car. How much I'm looking at to replace the gasket? Or have someone else do it.

It could be leaking from the water pump weep hole or the gasket. It'll be at least $200.00 for parts and labor to have it replaced by a buddy / backyard mechanic. And probably around $300.00 for a regulard shop to fix it.


(less if you don't have to replace the W/P

Clean it off completely, and take it for a drive to see if you can isolate the source of the leak. To fix it yourself, even if it needs a new waterpump shouldn't be too expensive. Shops charge an arm and a leg to do it
