Ok, so I have a '93 Accord and a coolant leak... From what I can see the water pump has 2 holes on it and one of them seems to have coolant coming out of it... Do I need to replace the water pump since its coming out of that hole or is there anything else I can do???



The hole that is circled looks to be where the leak is coming from...



Its not gushing but it is leaving a nice sized puddle under the car...

 

Yes, you are right. The weeping hole means the water pump is due to be replaced.

 

Damn... How long does it take to go out after it starts weeping???

 

time to do the whole timing belt job. also make sure u change out all the seals up front.

oh yeah, the water coming out of that hole means that the gasket of the water pump went out.

 

Man and the timing belt only has a few thousand miles on it...
What seals???

 

w/ in a day or two all the water will start coming out at its fastest speed. like a waterfall. it wont be dripping any more.

 

well u didnt change the waterpump or its gasket?

or it wasn't done right

seals: cam, crank, etc.

 

You dont have to replace the Timing belt then. Just replace the water pump and install the new O-ring seal for the pump. I believe you should also install a new thermostat as well.

 

No didnt change the water pump it was kind of an emergency repair since its the only car we had that our kids car seat would fit in... Now this is our ONLY car...

 

well here's an expensive lesson for you.
