The picture is taken from behind facing the front of the carI don't really want to take it apart and make it worse as I need to get around still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an o-ring in there, which has probably perished.Water pump = *beep* of a thing to replace. You can get cheap ones off eBay for around $20 plus postage.

Took me all night to replace the pump. The bolts are hard to get to because the pulley is too big and partially blocks access to the bolts.Scraping the old gasket off is difficult because you can't see parts of where the pump goes.Getting the new pump back is a nightmare because you have to line up the four bolts and then the pipe at the same time. Without the gasket falling backward off the bolts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
