Time for a water pump?

[kysvx]

My car was overheating this week after driving at highway speeds then slowing down into town. I looked for leaks last night and found the only place where coolant is showing is towards the front of the oil pan, which from searching the forum indicates a possible water pump leak. I ran the engine to temp with the radiator cap off to make sure coolant was flowing and found just a small amount of coolant showing so i filled the radiator and let it run. Then filled the reservoir and it runs fine today. However, I'm sure it will happen again due to the invisible leak so a water pump replacement will probably be in order soon. Looking through the threads I believe I have gathered all of the parts I will/may need for the job as well as those that will be beneficial to tackle while I'm in there, but I would like an expert on the subject to sign off before I put in the horrendous order. If there are any of these I will not likely need also please let me know because my funds are limited at the moment.

I will replace all of the coolant which I have not done before so I don't know if there are any replacement parts I will need for that process besides fluid.

Also, I do not have another vehicle I can drive at this time and have a good bit of driving I will need to do in the next couple of weeks. As long as I keep an eye on coolant levels and add as needed do I need to be worried?

I appreciate any insight any of you can give!

Thanks,

Patrick

How many miles are on your SVX?

the water pump should be replaced when you replace the timing belt, but many don't.

There are timing belt / water pump kits on ebay that have all the components you need, for a lot less than OEM, if you're not set on OEM

196k+ miles. I would be fine with using a kit if people have had good experience with them.

I've used the ebay kits with good results...that's what is on my Yellow 5-Speed for 5 years now

I believe Nate and some others recommend going with an OEM water pump. The ebay timing belt kits themselves are fine otherwise.

Ok thanks for the suggestions
