    It could be your water pump leaking.

    What are pellets?
    How hard is it to put a water pump in by yourself?
    Cheers

    Takes about 45 minutes to do a water pump. The pellets are used to stop minor leaks. I have never used them myself. Make sure the job is done properly and you shouldn't need them.
