HELP! coolent pissin out everywhere (ecotec)

[walesy]

hey guys my daily driver vs wagon has a problem, the coolent/water is pissin out almost as fast as im puttin it in!

its coming from above and behind the brand new waterpump but i cant see where exactly, its the first v6 ive owned so i dont really know my way around them hopefully someone here knows where its coming from, i pulled the waterpump out to make sure it had a good seal when i put it back on but still the same thing

[*uwishn*]

can you see it running down the engine? front or side?
all your hoses tight,welsh plugs still intact

[walesy]

yeah i can see it running down the engine on the drivers side, and yeah i checked all the hoses

[Stretchomatic]

have you taken the cover off the motor and checked the thermostat where the top hose goes in?

[walesy]

yeah the thermostat was changed aswell but it was a second hand one... might be a dodgy one, but i cant see water coming out from near there

[*uwishn*]

is the thermo stat hosing ok though? put your thermostat in boiling water see if it opens up

[walesy]

ok ill give that a shot after work tomorrow and see how it goes, thanks for the help guys

[walesy]

turns out it was the timing cover ... this is gunna be expensive for a bunky work hack :-(
