No. I have hat a few that let the impeller spin on the shaft, so it looked fine on the outside but was not working
Antifreeze leak in a 1999 Jeep may be as a result of a defective water pump or a cracked engine block.Antifreeze leak in your 1999 Jeep could be as a result of a radiator fluid leak, a cracked engine block, a defective water pump, or any other reason.
When a water pump is bad it will leak. There is a hole in the pump were water will leak out of.
Tighten the clamp on that hose. If it still leaks, remove the hose and inspect it. It may need replacing. Now if you are saying there is coolant leaking from the top hole on the water pump itself, replace the water pump, as it is defective.
Yes, the water pump can leak if you do a coolant flush.
yes and no, if the water pump seals are bad antifreeze will leak from the weep hole on the water pump, but it is possible for the pump to go bad and not leak at all.
Non, replacing a water pump will not cause a hose to leak.
There is a small hole on the bottom of the pump called a weep hole. If you see coolant dripping from this hole, the pump is defective. But it can be defective and not leak. A nosey pump, or one that is simply not moving coolant as it should must be replaced. If you have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle just replace it, as it is due to fail soon.
Replace the water pump.
A water pump has a "weep" hole. When the seals start to wear out the water pump will still start to leak from this hole. When this happens it is time to change the water pump.
most likely it is a defective replacement pump this does not happen very often so make sure it is from the weep hole and not leaking down from somewhere above. If it is indeed the pump weep hole exchange the defective pump for another new one. ASE certified master tech / L1
generally, water pumps leak when defective but still pump water. could be thermostat, plugged radiator, loose belt, low coolant answer if pump is not leaking, get engine to running temp and remove radiator cap look in to see if water is circulating if water is circulating it is not the pump i would change thrmostat then check radiator cap
Yes. If a water pump is leaking, it leaks anti freeze. Anti freeze, (coolant) can also leak from the radiator, or from water hoses.
