hi guys,
my bro's b18c is leaking fluid when the car is running. looks like it could be the waterpump, is this possible? o-ring?
timingbelt and waterpump has 70k miles.

 

more info....where is it leaking from...(hoses, timing cover, etc)

 

we replaced the radiator last week thinking it was the culprit. but was not.

this weekend we had the car on floor jacks and started it. With the car running it looks like its from behind the timing belt cover. it'll leak down the waterpump area and drip from the rim of the oil pan.

 

why would u replace the radiator if it looks like its leaking by the water pump?

sounds like water pump to me. pull the cover and have a look.

because i didn't check to see where it was leaking. just assumed it was the radiator.
after replacing the radiator and seeing that it was still leaking, thats when we put the car on jacks and inspected.

-is it possible to pull the lower cover without having to take the crank shaft pulley off?? looking at the helms i don't think it is.
