Goblin blood on my garage floor

[nfpgasmask]

Well, my fingers and toes are crossed, and so far so good.

After the timing belt change and new water pump install I don't seem to be leaking any more coolant. I am just hoping and knocking on all sorts of wood that the water pump was the source of my leak all along.

Merlin however, thinks that I could still have the o-ring leak talked about above, but I am hoping he is wrong.

So, if you are leaking coolant on top of the black plastic timing belt covers and down over the front, than there is a very good possibility that it is your water pump leaking.

I will keep you all posting after a month or so of nothing on the garage floor.

That’s good to hear. When I do my belt and water pump hopefully that with do the trick on mine as well.

Mine is still weeping when it sets for 24 plus hours but if I drive daily it does not leak to point of dripping. I believe it is water pump weep on mine. It comes from behaing lower part of timing cover leaks down on pan and cross bar like many pics of this thread. No collant near top of motor period. I have a date with Sandford Isuzu since I am still covered on warranty.

Yeah, that's most likely exactly what it is since my symptoms were exactly the same. The reason you don't see it when you drive regularly is because it is blowing off and spattering allover the underneath of your VX. When you let it sit it pools up and then eventually drips down onto the floor.

I actually just checked under the hood today on my lunch break and it's still coolant leak free!!!

It's my turn for the Goblin blood on the garage floor. Over the weekend I noticed a small puddle starting to form. Thought it might be the water pump so I ran it over to have the dealer check it out. It was the water pump and it was covered under the 10/120 powertrain warranty. Also I had a small transmission leak that was also covered under the 10/120 powertrain warranty. I also had them replace the timing belt while they were in there.

It's great to be an Original Owner with that full powertrain warranty.

Warranty? What's that?
How refreshing, really refreshing!!
Way to go Gene!
What do we have here, maybe 5 others members with the 10 yrs?....and probably some expired, and some to be expired within a year or so.

Let's see if I can count them on one hand....circmand, deermagnet, rickshaw, SuperDave, dietz99vcross.....now onto two hands.....ummmm, can't recall any others....
