I agree, it's probably the water pump Posted by Herb Hirsch [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Head Gasket leak, JeffSm, Fri, 8 Aug 2008 14:38:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
When you get a puddle on the passenger side inside of the front wheel it is very likely the water pump.
The leaking will get worse. Eventually, you could lose a lot of coolant suddenly and require a tow. I would plan/schedule a fix now/soon.
On price, I'm guessing because I've always done my own. You'll need a water pump ($135.00 for OEM), coolant ($20.00) and labor (1-2 hrs. at $85-$125/hr.). The total could hit $325-$400.
Given the mileage on your car, consider replacing the thermostat at the same time. This could add another hour of labor to the bill plus $10-$20 for the thermostat.
