Coolant Leak :(

[CMF_deNs]

G'day,

Was up at the Fun Day at winton yesterday, and after the long trek home I noticed this morning that I had a bit of a coolant leak. Wasn't much (probably about 2 teaspoons worth) but I can't stand having any leaks from it.

Seems to be coming from the back entrance to the water pump - the smallish diameter coolant hose connects to a metal line that connects to the back of the water pump. I'm just wondering - could this possibly just mean a seal needs replacing or potentially a new water pump?

Sorry about the blue-ness of the image - didn't do a white balance beforehand..

Thanks,

there's an o-ring on the end of that pipe, it simply pushes into the back of the water pump housing.. which is actually a part of the block.. not the water pump. its most likely the just the o-ring. **** of a job to change

Ah yep.. fair enough. Thanks Any idea on the size of the O-ring?

Why couldn't the micra be RWD.. would make things like this so much easier to get to.
