I replaced the tube that goes just under the water pump on a 2001
caravan. It is metal and then connects via flex rubber to the rad. I
think it maybe called a collector tube - not sure. In any event it had
to be replaced since it was totally corroded out, but the van is still
leaking - like a sieve!
It seems to be coming just on top of where that pipe fits in. I do not
think where it fits in is the water pump per se, since a replacement
pump does not have that flange, maybe some part of the engine casing
that the water pump fits into(?). I do not have a service manual and
have not ben able to find a picture of it all anywhere yet, so please
bear with me...
Is it possible that a water pump will leak fairly heavily, not just
drip...drip...drip? It is the original water pump with about 94K Kms
on it.
I am just trying to make sure I have everything in hand as much as
possible to actually fix the issue once I am in there since I have to
pull the sepentine belt and I think pry the engine a bit to get at
it...
thanks
