Water Pump Inspection
•
Check the drainage outlet passage [A] at the bottom of
the water pump housing for coolant leaks.
•
If a coolant leak or ooze is found, start the engine and
check if the coolant leaks continuously.
When coolant does not continuously leak, it is normal.
If the mechanical seal is damaged, the coolant continu-
ously leaks through the drainage outlet passage. Replace
the mechanical seal unit.
If the oil seal is damaged, engine oil leaks through the
drainage outlet passage. Replace the oil seal.
