When the pump starts to weep, it's usually a sign that it is about to go. I replace them rather than wait. ---------------------------------------- Steve 1990 Limited Edition Mustang Registry http://90limited7up.stangnet.com/ |

If you have eliminated any possibility that the fluid might be coming from someplace else and you are sure it's from the weep hole go ahead and replace the pump. It's not that hard a job and will give you a chance to do a through detail on all the brackets, accessories ect that you can't normal get to when they are mounted. It's a good chance to take the radiator down to a shop and have it rodded out and rebuilt at the same time. And as long as you have to take them off any way I'd replace the hoses and belt too. And as long as your hands are dirty, do the tstat. Have fun. |

Definitely the waterpump, just really strange not a single drop of antifreeze throughout the WARM months, as soon as the temps drop below freezing then pump weeps. Car is kept inside of NON-HEATED garage. I know (METALS) & (GASKETS) can do some wacky things when they gets cold, anyways I guess a new waterpump is in the future. |

I bought a 1992 F150 XLT for my step-dad about 6 months before he passed away. The former owner replaced the water pump on this 5.0 pick-up and I got the truck with a similar problem, but it is a timing cover to front of block gasket failure. I am too lazy to fix it, but now it only drips a lot when it is driven. I am not sure how many miles your TW has on it but just loosening the water pump to replace it can cause the timing-cover to engine gasket to do the same thing so be careful. I have heard about it happening but this is my first experience with it. I backed the component brackets off of the water pump a bit and tightened the bolts all the way around. It slowed the leak a lot, but not completely. Just tightening the bolts A BIT may stop the problem on your car. Just don't over-tighten the bolts and strip the threads in the pump-to-timing cover bolt holes. ---------------------------------------- 1990 7-Up, 1992 Summer Edition, 1993 Summer Edition Canary Yellow, 1993 Summer Edition Triple White, 1992 F150 XLT 2WD, 2000 Explorer XLS, 1989 GT Conv't R/D Parts Car, 1990 7-Up R/D Parts Car, 1993 Summer Edition Canary Yellow R/D Parts Car |

66000 miles, It looks to be the original pump and yes after DETAILING the front of the engine you can see the leakage between the mating surface of the pump and timing cover on the Bottom side of. I have already bought NEW Motorcraft waterpump, going to set up an appointment with Dealership, as soon as the weather breaks and let them install it. THANKS for the advice. |

Have decided to install new timing-cover gasket along with waterpump. $604.00 a bit expensive |
