its cold.... so I started using the heater

[PhilipJCaputo]

Now I'm getting a coolant looking leak near the Water Valve..... I'm guessing that the water valve is somehow tied into the heating system.... am I correct??

Do water valves go bad?? or what about that little extra pump under there?? or is it more likely that a hose as bit the dust??

it's usually a cracked pump when it's leaking in that area

Thanks for help..

I acutally pulled the pump out tonight (very easy), and I think it may have actually been broken (broken as in the blades were not able to spin, but the motor works fine).

So I JB welded some stuff back together and hopefully that'll fix it.... if not I'll be shop'n for a pump.

new pumps online at bma are 100 bucks..... shoud I just go new or try to get a used pump off a parts car?
