WATER PUMP

The water pump (Figure 20) is mounted at the front of the engine, next to the oil filter. The water pump is sold as a complete unit only. If any component is damaged, the entire water pump assembly must be replaced. The 2 water pump O-rings, however, can be replaced separately. PRELIMINARY INSPECTION If the coolant level has been dropping, check the vent hole (A, Figure 21) at the bottom of the water pump housing. Figure 21 shows the water pump removed for clarity. If coolant leaks from the hole, the internal water pump seal is damaged. Replace the water pump as a unit. If coolant is not leaking from the vent hole, pressure test the cooling system as described under Coolant Change in Chapter Three.
