jacked the car up and removed the undertray, laek is deinately not from rad or overflow, coolant dripping off the underdrive pulley so im thinking water pump? could it be anything else?

 

right thats as far as i can go because i simply dnt know what to do next!

all advice welcome guys

 

yaseen

call me if you can

Id be inclined to agree ;)

check main water pipes aswell sometimes it can leak there,but like you say more likely to be waterpump

Water pump, or the two metal pipes that go into the head. If you end up replacing the pump, then I'd strongly recommend you do the pipes at the same time, they only cost a few quid each and being steel they tend to rust away from the inside.

ok, so seeing as its too big a job for me to do in a day and i dont want to rush it, im gonna leave till weekend after next probably.

 

what should i do at the same time and what do i need beside new water pump and the two short main rubber pipes?

an allen key socket with long extension on ratchet helps,that way theres no leverage on allen key
