So, just to recap, I started losing coolant from the front of my 2.5 in-line 6. The coolant appeared to be running down the right side of the water pump, between the block and the pump. Along the gasket. If it was leaking from the water pump gasket, the leak was from the upper gasket.
When I removed the old pump, the gasket looked fine. It wasn't damaged or distorted, but no gasket seal had been used on it. I carefully installed the new pump. The coolant leak was pretty strong.
Where else above the pump could be the source of a coolant leak? If I had a leak in the head gasket, could it be leaking coolant along the front of the block above the pump?
