Hi all,
Looking to confirm - got home last night to find that the VX had a puddle of water dripping from under it. Not radiator or hoses. However, I saw that it was dripping from the front end underneath the serpentine belt off of the front end of the oil sump. Couldn't see any water coming from the water pump, but I suspect that's what it is. I ran some coolant through it this morning only to see it pour onto the floor. Frustrating thing is that I can't see any leaks from the pump or the seal - it's just too 'busy' in there to clearly see it. If the pump is leaking, should I be able to see coolant coming from it or can it be a sneaky thing to visibly see until it's dripping from the outside of the sump?
I can't locate where it is coming from? Is this normal for a leaking water pump?
