Hello all. My car leaks water when engine is running.and only.after it has reached a certain temperature.
I.checked hoses that are visible and none are leaking. Safe to say it's the water pump?? Thanks. I just want to make sure cuz I know It's a.hassle to replace pump.

 

A cold pressurized leak test should disclose what is leaking. Water pumps leak from the drain on lower timing belt cover behind driver's wheel.

good luck

 

Thanks. What im still wondering is wouldnt water start leaking from pump as soon as engine is started? My car doesnt leak right away, only after 10 to 15 min after engine has warmed up.

 

You don't say whether it's leaking form driver or pax side.

A leak test is best solution unless you are willing to perform closer inspections than looking at ground.

good luck

 

I've had a waterpump that leaked only after I shut off the engine. And then only if I had it running long enough to get fully warmed up.

Just as an illustration that it's POSSIBLE for the leak to behave in a strange manner.
