WATER PUMP INSPECTION
1. Inspect water pump. Check that the water pump gasket surface is not cracked or damaged. If necessary, replace the water pump.
2. Inspect water pump bearing. Turn the pulley and check that the water pump bearing moves smoothly and quietly. If necessary, replace the water
pump. Check the impeller for shaft retention pitting.
3. Check the water pump weep hole for signs of leakage from the water seal. Make sure the weep hole is open and not plugged with grease.
IMPORTANT: If there are signs (deposits) of weepage on the pump flange below the weep hole, this does not mean the pump's seal has failed. Only
replace the pump when there is evident of leakage, such as coolant on the pump flange, ground or in the water pump area.
