I replaced the tube that goes just under the water pump on a 2001 caravan. It is metal and then connects via flex rubber to the rad. I think it maybe called a collector tube - not sure. In any event it had to be replaced since it was totally corroded out, but the van is still leaking - like a sieve!
It seems to be coming just on top of where that pipe fits in. I do not think where it fits in is the water pump per se, since a replacement pump does not have that flange, maybe some part of the engine casing that the water pump fits into(?). I do not have a service manual and have not ben able to find a picture of it all anywhere yet, so please bear with me...
Is it possible that a water pump will leak fairly heavily, not just drip...drip...drip? It is the original water pump with about 94K Kms on it.
I am just trying to make sure I have everything in hand as much as possible to actually fix the issue once I am in there since I have to pull the sepentine belt and I think pry the engine a bit to get at it...
thanks
