I went to do a coolant change, the same stuff I have been using for a while and never had a problems with (it's silicate-free). I took one gallon out, and I put one gallon in. I put the funnel on. I ran the car until there were no air bubbles. When I drove it today I was checking for leaks. I saw a new leak. It was a coolant leak, I traced it down to some holes on the engine block.
It's dripping down there. But for some odd reason, according to the research I have done, it's to indicate that the water pump is going bad or the seal on it. That doesn't make sense since because I replaced the water pump last year 2024.
AISIN TKH-007 Engine Timing Belt Kit with Water Pump
This was the kit and the only thing I didnt use in it were the belts. I bought them oem. But it does have quality parts in it, including the KOYO bearings. I'm confused why the water pump would be leaking.
Could this be some other issue? I didn't seem to overfill it, there is no extra coolant in the reservoir. So I'm confused.
