leaking water pump

(1/1)

gnasha:
i have 200tdi and have a problem my water pump is leaking from the bottom of the pump housing
ive tried silicon sealent as a gasket still leaked
got hold of a proper gasket and that still leaked
even tried silicon sealent both sides of the gasket and still leaks
i did notice the sealent wont stick to timeing cover but sticks fine to the pump
any one got any idiea's how to sort it out
thanks Don

thediscodude:
i used obviouslty the new p gasket and some instant gasket and never had any problems

white disco:
sounds like faulty pump or pressure plug at bottom of pump

your the second to say something along these lines and when i run the engine and it gets up to temp it stops leaking
do u think this could be the problem

ChrisW70:
There's a small hole on the underside of the water pump that lets the water out when the internal seal in the pump is knackered  ;)
