Does anyone know whats going on... I recently replace my head gasket on my b16a2. But before I replace the gasket, I notice that there was a leak of coolant running down the oil pan. I thought to myself that maybe the water pump is bad so I replace the unit with an new water pump. I'm done with replacing the water pump, the head gasket and replace the thermostat. I went to start up the car and watch if it was still leaking. I can only see the top part of the water pump, the timing cover is blocking the rest. I dont know why its leaking again when i replaced it, or even if it is the water pump. i looked all round to see what could cause the leak, but the only thing i can think of is the water pump.
Any help will be helpful, thanks.

Where do you see coolant leaking from?

the only thing i can see, is that its dripping of the oil pan.

Which side of the oil pan?

Follow the coolant flow upward. Where is it first seen? We can't help you without more information.

If it's near the timing cover it could be the pump seal against the block, the o-ring of the coolant pipe coming from the back of the pump, headgasket, crack, manifold gasket or one of the bypass hoses coming from the IACV/manifold.

For that matter it could be the drain plug in the front of the block blowing around from the wind, but that will usually hit the exhaust pipe and smell/leave white marks.
