okay, i've tried a new gasket and everything for the waterpump but it continues to leak pretty fast(about 12oz every 30minutes). i can see it dripping but not the source, i can feel with my finger and its right at the bottom back part of the water pump. Where does water come from when the pumps bad, the weep hole location??? i have an b18a in there to let you know.

 

Have you tried replacing the pump?

 

no, how can you tell when a water pump goes bad?

 

Sometimes they leak.

 

yeah when it leaks, it's bad. replace it.

 

ha ha real funny, i'm going to try that but it's coming from the bottom of the water pump, not the bearings themselves, i'll try anyway. thanks.

 

There's a weep hole there, that's where they usually leak.

 

If ya wanna be cheap and not buy a new one at about 120 bucks, I'll sell u the one off of my car that I'm changing out because I'm replacing mine(no leak though) for the hell of it since I'm doing my timing belt tomorrow.
