No. A leaking coolant pump is caused by a worn seal inside the pump. You will have to replace the pump.
Coolant flows into the water pump thru the bottom radiator hose, into the block from the water pump, up into the heads, and then to the intake crossover (or heater core from the back pass side head), then back to the radiator via the top hose. Coolant from the heater core is returned to the water pump not to the radiator.
The heated coolant comes out of the engine from the connection in the intake manifold and returns thru the connection into the water pump.
Yes, the water pump can leak if you do a coolant flush.
coolant no were near the oil pump/pan. because if mix that it will stuff up your radioator and blow your engine up. radiotors arent CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coolant won't get in oil pan froma water pump but it can from bad intake gaskets, head gaskets or a cracked head.
There is coolant on the ground occasionally. How will I know when the intake manifold gasket is leaking
THERE IS NO HOSE, THE WATER PUMP IS FED BY A METAL COOLANT PIPE LOCATED UNDERNEATH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE LOWER RADIATOR HOSE CONNECTS TO THE PIPE.
That is the water pump weep hole. If coolant is coming out, the water pump has failed.That is the water pump weep hole. If coolant is coming out, the water pump has failed.
I assume you want to change out the water pump and would like to know if you can do it without draining the radiator. You will lose approximately all the coolant in the radiator reservoir when you remove the radiator hose from the water pump. If the coolant is in good, clean condition, it might be wise to drain the radiator into a container and re-use the coolant.
Low engine coolant--when you step on the gas water pump runs faster and is calling for more coolant--check level
start with water pump. If its a V6 3.1L have the intake manifold gasket checked. You may have a coolant leak.
3.1 engine leaks at the intake gasket
