Water Pump Leaking??

 

==================

Not likely on the valve cover, though the water pump on those does tend
to seep a few drops of coolant. I have seen new ones do this; and also
old ones that kept doing it, never getting any worse.

On yours, look for a bad thermostat gasket, or seepage from the air
bleed screw that is threaded into the thermostat housing. Or a pinhole
leak in the upper radiator hose. I once had such a leak on a Ford
Taurus; under pressure it put out a barely visible spray of coolant.

As for other problems, the known weak rocker arm tower must be
mentioned. As mentioned at Allpar.com, it can be fixed without
replacing the cylinder head, if it happens.

 

Hi I got the problem solved... It was Two broken bolts in the Intake
Manifold...
