No, not necessarily. Most likely the drain has become rotten because of something acidic going into it. Vent pipes usually have a good flow of air in both directions. I would just change the bad waste pipe(s).

1989 ford f150 water pump 5.0 eng leaking on the back?

If it's leaking from the back of the water pump then most likely you should go ahead and replace it because its leaking from the weep hole which tells you basicly that your water pump is about to stop working its a way to warn you before your motor locks up


Can you cause internal damage if injectors are leaking too much gas on a 1997 Pontiac sunfire?

Probably not, but go ahead and replace the injectors. They're only about $75 each and it's not a big job. You certainly don't want raw gas leaking under the hood.

When to replace a valve cover gasket?

First it depends on what motor you have. But generally if it isn't leaking oil than I wouldn't mess with it. If you remove a valve cover then you would want to go ahead and change it while you have it off


How do you know if water pump must be replaced and not the gasket?

There is a weep hole on the underside of the water pump. If it is leaking out of that weep hole, it is defective and needs replacing. If the gasket is leaking which is unlikely if the pump is an OEM pump, you need to just go ahead and replace the pump anyway. If you go to all the trouble and labor to remove the pump in order to replace the gasket it would be foolish to not just go ahead and install a new water pump instead of reinstalling the old one, which may fail at any time.


Do you have to change the Gasket between the toilet tank and the toilet bowl?

Only if it is leaking there. They do sometimes, but not that often. If you have taken the tank off for some reason, you should probably go ahead and change it.

Should you attempt to replace the water pump yourself if you are not sure it is what is making the noise and it is not leaking?

If you feel comfortable doing it then yes, go ahead. This may take care of the problem or you may find the actual problem while doing it. At the very least you will eliminate one possibility from the list. Sounds like the pump may be old anyway if you suspect it so go for it.

I was taught that you should look ahead a minimum of 15 seconds ahead. That equates to about a block to a block and a half ahead of you.


How do you change the water pump in a 2001 LW200 Saturn?

Unfortunately, if your LS (V6) water pump has failed and started leaking, you've also damaged the timing belt. The tool necessary to change the timing belt costs about $500. You'll be ahead if you just take the vehicle to your Saturn dealership and have them replace the belt and waterpump.Note! The owners manual warns that you should replace the timing belt at 100,000 miles, and it's a good idea to do the water pump at the same time.If the water pump is leaking, DON'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE!!! If the timing belt slips a couple teeth, you'll be discussing the cost of an entire engine.
