Just reconnected all the plumbing this afternoon. When the engine is running there is water spraying on to the cam belt from a small hole in the back of the pump body. It does look like it should be there. Do i have a seal missing or something. I have had the pump of for refurb and replaced the gasket? Any suggestions


Simon

what engine /water pump is it??????

whichever one it is, the seal has gone in the bearing and needs a new one

Takes me back, I had several minis that I regularly had to replace water pumps on. Like Mark says it's the seal in the bearing. What engine ? Could be a big job on a overhead cam engine (cambelt off to be able to get at the pump). If this is the case it may be worth changing the cam belt at the same time (unless you know it is OK.)

the reason I asked which is because I have a mondeo one in the garage that he could have

apologies. 2.o pinto sphc

I replaced mine as a matter of course, cost £12

Where did you get yours from

Local factors called Roadrunner, but any factor should have them in stock for a similar cost, the Ford item shouldn't be too expensive
