HI, i was wondering what is this hole where the red arrow is pointing at? Is it the the bleeder valve for the waterpump? Because when i start the car up the car coolant is coming out from that little hole. any advices, thoughts, ideas, suggestions would be so appreciative. thank you in advance.

 

Regardless of what it is, Change the %^$#@ water pump and worry about the hole later.
The vent hole on a water pump is traditionally on the bottom (behind the drive pulley) where the waterpump's shaft and bearings are located.

thanks P_Adams.. so the hole where i pointed at, is that on the waterpump as well?

 

My 90 EX is doing the same thing. Can we do anything to stop it, without changing the pump?? Where does that hole go?

hey brett.... i believe you have to change the pump.

 

Yes it is a weep hole for the water pump; there is a service news article about it "don't cry over weep hole" or something like that.

Remember when your service manager gave you that copy to put in your service news book?

The article goes on to say that 'some' weepage is acceptable, yet they give no amounts or definition to what is actually acceptable.

It means the shaft seal in the water pump is letting coolant thru.
So IMHO a few drops a day would be okay, but a stream like a cow pissing would be bad.
