Is the water pump gasket available without buying the pump? I think mine is leaking now, since I replaced both radiator hoses. looks like a lot of pressure looking for the weakest area to escape. :mad: :confused:

I might try tightening the bolts first just to see if that will help, but if it doesn't, can I buy just the gasket alone. I do have s heet gasket making material. Maybe I'll make my own.

I wouldn't be surprised if your front timing cover was leaking as well.

I hope not. Already went through that on the red 91 I had. It looks like the leak is higher up and running down the front of the timing cover.

I might get to pull some of the front off tomorrow to have a look.

Thanks for the part number SVT.
 
I have a similar leak turns out the intake gaskets are leaking coolant near the front and running down.:(
 
right after you get done driving it, squeeze your radiator hoses and see if you can find the leak. The system is all pressurized, I have found leaks that way before.
 
I also think my thermostat might have been sticking before. After cranking, it would warm up and go up to about R before dropping back down to N, I assume that was the t-stat opening. Now it just slowly goes up to N and stays there. I still don't see anything leaks. Maybe it was just getting used to new hoses and coolant. :rolleyes:
