got water leaking fromt he zed, it at the bottom of the engine near a ulley wheel, the one the alternater belt goes to meeting at the front of the oil sump i think, what can this be?? :cry: :cry:

running down from the water pump?

Its either the pump or most probably the two small hoses behind it.

 

That a good few hours work!

 

Sorry!

these two small pipes where meant too have been replaced two years ago when the cam belt was changed, will they go that quick, how much for water pump and where do i get one, can anyone recommend a good garage near me, paignton in devon

Ap motors in Plympton ,Plymouth is very good mate. If you go to the UJCC (Ultimate Jap Car Club) website you'll find there number. They sponsor the forum, members get a discount. They did some stuff on my car and have high standards. Dave

is there any way to find out if it is pipes or pump leaking before it goes in for repair????

you can strip down to the water pipes and check them, i thought my water pump was knackered but the leak was from one of the small metal water pipes, they had both corroded badly. cost about £50 for the pair from mjp. had water pump and timing belt changed at same time as i have no record of if/when they were last done.

hour at the most... follow upto 11 of this

(dont bother with the petcock, just take off th lower rad hose)

 

then remove the water pipes (you'll need a long reach allen key)
