Morning all :)

I have a coolant leak, but struggling to figure out from where. My initial thoughts were that it is the water pump gasket leaking, so I replaced that, but I still have the same leak in the same area behind the water pump above the Cam Position Sensor connector.

These are screenshots from a video I recorded of the area, since my phone actually managed to get in there.

I'm not sure what else is in that area that could be leaking coolant? Do any of the front cover bolts enter the water jacket somewhere? I replaced the cam recently so the front cover has been off aswell.

Thanks!

Unless it's new, I would say water pump, but there are a couple of bolts that go through the water jacket and people have suggested coating them with RTV when putting them in.

Yes, I think you're right. It seems to be leaking out of the weep hole on the side of the pump and being blown back and behind the waterpump by the fan. It then runs down the back of the waterpump and down the front cover.

Any thoughts on the Britpart XS Proflow water pump quality? It's all that my local part supplier has in stock.

Airtex, Airtex or Airtex, that's the only pump to fit. I wouldn't fit anything from Britpart that critical.

Yep, thought so. I'll do some calling around tomorrow and see what I can find.
What do the dealers supply as genuine these days? Will that be an Airtex?

Thanks again Gilbert!

Island 4X4 list airtex - https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/water-pump-1994-airtex-stc4378-p-6826.html as well as Meyle or Britpart.

Rimmers seem to list the genuine with a surcharge attached for return of the old one, so I'd guess those are refurbished parts?

LRdirect seem to mostly list Britpart (most of the proflow ones look to be Britpart ones when looked into further).

Airtex waterpump seems to have done the job, quite pleased with that :)
