Noticed the other day there's what appears to be dried up coolant below and around the water pump, the cars not getting any hotter and the coolant levels not dropping so is there any possible reason for this or is my water pump leaking? gonna clean it off and see if it comes back or not but has anyone had anything like this happen?
Cheers.

Mods:...WIM geometry setup & fine tune, K&N Air filter, Stainless steel A/C rings, Brodit phone kit, Stainless steel clock surround, B&M Shortshifter & LED Domelight, Maplight & Sun Visors, OEM Chrome exhaust tip, OEM rubber bootliner, Fan type windscreen washer jets, LS430 Side repeaters, OEM LE grille, OEM cargo net, Front OEM armrest
Check the by-pass pipe as well- the rubber 'o' rings can perish causing the coolant to leak from there as well.

It's good if it can be combined with a cam belt change since you have to take all the belts off anyway to get to the water pump.

Is it possible for some coolant to be forced out if theres too much in there, just wondering as this has only happened since I topped it upto max and it's normally just below that, it's now returned to it's normal level and the leaked coolant doesn't look fresh

01-10-2016, 03:21 PM #6I would check the by-pass pipe and cleaning is a good idea to see if it comes back, although i have read before now, somewhere, that the water pump does fail and leaks arounfd it, if it is def worth sorting sooner rather than later!!

Cheers Steve, just had a look at the by-pass and it seems fine, the leaked coolant's more at the bottom of the pump so i'm guessing the seals gone the pump looks quite new so i'm guessing it was done when the belts where changed and they don't need doing again for another 20 odd K, have cleaned it up anyway so will see if it comes back. Cheers guys.
