Icon5 Honda civic 2000 lx Leak

Hey guys,

I lent my car to a friend while I was away and they had the pleasure of allowing my car to overheat and continue to drive it, I ended up fixing a leak that was under the distributor and it was running smoothly again but the other night I noticed I was overheating again and pulled into the nearest lot and noticed all of my coolant was now on the concrete. Attached is a video of a leak I now have under the my engine I'm thinking the water pump is 86.

Thank You,
Emanuel Cofino.

There is a good chance that your water pump went out and is leaking from the cover downward as it appears in the video. Many new replacement water pumps are equipped with a drain passage that will start pouring out when the water pump is shot to ensure that water doesn't touch the bearings. I've also once had a mystery leak that was beading water from the bottom of the oil pan; only to pull of my timing cover and find out that the lower water pump bolt backed itself out.

Another possibility is that your head is warped from overheating, or so to say that your head gasket is blown and exhaust pressure is pushing into the cooling system causing water to push out.
