heres the deal...

we put antifreeze in my truck a few days ago!

ive noticed this leak and didnt think much about it!!

today i move it to in front of garage and notcied antifreeze puddle..

so i tune my carb since hood was opened..

started the truck and notice antifreeze pouring out!

i looked down at motor and it looks like its coming out of the water pump??
theres some covers there so its dripping out but after a minute it starts pouring out

is it the water pump ? i think it is! please tell me ,... i gotta fix this .. and i know iam gunna have to remove a few things to fix this too! so tell me what needs done! thanks

Auto store. . . duh. .

And ya, it sounds like your water pump. .

Make sure you get the timing in the right place before you start takin it apart. . or it will be an f'in nightmare to get back right. . . And DEFINATELY change the timing belt while you are in there. . .

as josh said... replace the timing belt while your in there and got it apart.. a few bucks at the auto parts house... will prevent a major headache further down the road... preventive maintenance is more important then a schedule or planned maintenance.... good luck with it
