It could be the pump or elbow. Pressure testing the system should help you more accurately pinpoint it. Get the aluminum elbows instead of the plastic ones. And if it is the water pump I'd probably change the elbows anyway.

car off. grab the water pump with two hands, push with one hand and pull with the other, then back and fourth, if it moves, the water pump is dead.

that spot in the frame where its leaking from is the motor mount bucket. its right below the water pump. theres a weep hole on the side of the water pump, if it leaking you'll see a trail from the hole

Do you live in plainfield ILLINOIS???

while your at the parts store get some thread sealant. its for the 4 long bolts. they go right throught the block into coolant. coolant will leak out when the bolts are removed too, so dont freak.

you need to go look at the lower sc idler. the pulley need to come off or the long bolt wont come out. the pulleys held on with a 15 mm nut, or a T 55 torx. sucks when your torn apart and you dont have the t 55.

you also need to either take the p/s pump off, or take iirc the lower bolt out and you can then turn the pump out of the way to get the other long bolt from the left side.

ill be doing this again tomorrow. when id it last time i didnt know about the p/s pump trick and i took it off. it can be a b1tch t get back on being the bolt holes are blind. but not impossible to get on.

note the pulley removed.

NJ? i got robbed there once lol not kidding either.....

im up north by the GWB.

thats the right sealant to.

whats funny is i just bought the same stuff today myself lol all but the elbows and sealant. and i passed on the duralast and got a valuecraft cause it was 10 cheaper.

limited lifetime warranty means they will replace it one time too. but i did mine like 3 years ago and it looks like it fell of the list on me. so i had to pony up the 30 bucks for the pump

Just saying im 15 mins from you if you want to meet up sometime. Check my sig but i dont think i have a Monster Gtp!

Its running so much boost and the pulley im running is the best set up for the quarter. I will have time slips soon on a nice day and I finish this little project.

i dont want to sound like im beating you up here. but i think you will be real pissed when you run a mid to hi 13.

you just dont have the HP the guy told you it had. id check that thing for kr ASAP. i bet its got some. theres guys with smaller pulleys, better ic's and they have less HP then your seller states.

on the face of the sc pulley its stamped what size it is. 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, or 3.6. whats it say there?

vets at 330 with a cam and corn and 3.0 iirc. and the trans makes it faster,,,,so he says lol
