Sooo.... failed head gasket? Posted by Justin VanAbrahams [Email] (#32) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Justin VanAbrahams) on Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:01:23 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Dad's '02 SE... Noticed a leak from the upper radiator hose, a fairly constant drip that would lose about 1/2 pint of coolant every month. Really not a big deal. Did this for probably six months, then we found a big puddle on the passenger side of the car. After copious disassembly, found the heater outlet from the water pump leaking at the union to the block leaking.
I am thinking this can't be coincidence, and probably points towards the engine pressurizing the cooling system and finding the weak links. Anyone else got any other reasonable explanations?
I am going to re o-ring the water pump and replace the upper radiator hose just to be sure, but all of that and more was done ~35k ago when I replaced the water pump.
Sad times.
