Originally posted by 97GS-Tpal So i had just recently replaced the heater hoses on my car, due to overheating issues...It ran good for about a day and a half, but today i took it the shop to get my E-brake replaced =] (it got used alittle too much) but as it was up on the lift i notice water leaking. Its leaking ALOT on the right side of the engine (if your infront of the car looking at the engine) Its running down the oil pan and rushing out. I searched "water leak" and "water pump" in the search bar and got some ideas of it maybe being the water pump but i just want to make sure. Im assuming its my water pump because it being on that side of the engine and the amount thats being lost. Is this a good guess or is there something else it might be? Thanks.
I apologize, i didnt notice that error. The leak is on the LEFT side (if standing in front)...All my hoses and clamps are tightened because i did have a torn hose on the right side of the engine. So yes, quite a big leak on the LEFT side seeping down the oil pan....What gasket did you end up changing?
My leak was from the gasket that goes around the thermostat. When I pulled it apart to only realize that my mechanic never put one on just gasket marker.
Good luck and I hope your mechanic pinpoints the problem.
