leaking water pump........

truck has been parked in the garage since friday evening......and only cranked up for a few minutes saturday after i installed my new o2 sensor.

go out a lil while ago to clean up and pull truck out,and a small puddle of coolant is on the ground, then i looked and took this pic.

dammit!!! the leaks on this thing are getting ridiculous.

 

oh........and im only at 64k miles.

 

hate to hear it man :/ check your hose clamps though, mine lost their elasticity and will leak when it gets cold like it has been recently

 

im gonna take a look at them and see if thats the case.

 

not sure man.....im gonna go ahead and try to fix mine.

 

other than that it could just be the seal wearing out cause of age, still sucks though

 

im thinking i may as well go ahead and change my timing belt when im in there too.

looking on rockauto and ebay....cant figure out what i wanna get.

 

would be best seeing how its in aproximately the same location plus you only got bout 20k more miles till that needs replacing too

 

yeah.......im gonna replace the timing belt/water pump/thermostat and whatever else needs to be replaced. gotta figure the best place to get the stuff tho. i wonder if the ebay kits are worth a crap?????

 

I got everything from my local NAPA store. They carry gates belts and some other brand of water pump that I cant remember, but its NAPA so its probably quality. I have about 2000 miles on my stuff so far. All you really need is the pump, thermostat, belt, and some black permatex sealant for the pump.

 

i got mine from the stealership didnt wanna risk getting crap parts

mine started leaking this past fall at 33k. took it in and i was lucky as hell because i only had 2 week left on my factory warranty. although i only had 33k on it, i went ahead and had them put new belt on so that way i wouldn't have to pay for the labor in a couple years. good luck Will!

 

got it...thanks brotha.

well....i thought about trying the stealer on the matter...cause i do have an extended warranty, but im gonna go ahead and guess that they will say it aint covered.....they wouldnt replace my front o2 sensor under toyotas emissions warranty....so i figure they aint gonna do this either.

 

im at about 65K in my 05 tacoma hope i dont need to change or have anything happen to my water pump!!

 

cant hurt to ask

 

yeah....i'll call tomorrow, but i already know the outcome.

 

you are correct about the o2 sensor.......but it is an emissions part....and toyota has an 80k emissions warranty.

 

ahaha....yeah......nah, aint gonna drive that far. i'll do it myself.
