Am leaking antifreeze and have taken it up on the ramp to see if I could find the source. I can see it isn't from the radiator and looks like it is coming from the water pump. Now this isn't a drip drip drip leak but rather a few drops here and there but seems to be at a pace where after 4 or 5 days it requires some antifreeze added. Can anyone give me some insight as to whether this is something I should get changed quickly. And with that in mind, does anyone know how difficult it is to change the water pump? Thanks.

 

Any leaks of any fluid should be attened to quickly. You need a special tool to change the water pump otherwise you risk breaking the aluminium block. I had one changed by the dealer under extended warranty and I saw the bill, $240 two years ago.

 

Thanks for the information.
