Water Pump Leaking
1 Attachment(s)
I was changing my oil today and noticed that the water pump appears to be leaking. I've got 58k miles so I was kind of surprised. After searching around on here for a while I realized that 58k isn't unheard of for an RX-8.
In searching I also read something about a weep hole, which I can see in the picture I believe. So is my leak typical and indicates the seal is starting to go? I'm planning on replacing with an OEM pump and flushing the coolant, is there anything else I need to do while I'm at it? I'm thinking possibly the thermostat. https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1346436712 |
Replace the pump, belts, thermostat, and hoses.

you forgot the coolant :slap:

:lol: I was assuming that was a given.

you should know better by now, forum grasshopper ...

Thanks, I didn't think about the hoses and belts. And I guess, if you insist, I'll put more coolant in after flushing it. :cool:
