So...about 2 weeks ago I replaced the water pump on my 1985 CJ-7. Since then it has idled a little warmer than usual, or when driving in slow traffic. But still my gauge didn't read that it was "danger" hot, and it would go back down after a bit of faster driving. Well today I get home and see a puddle quickly forming under the engine....coolant....pop the hood and I can hear the coolant boiling in the rad. hoses and what sounds like hissing coming from my new waterpump, which is extremely hot to the touch. Do I need another new waterpump? Am I overlooking something? Why is there still coolant in the overflow? Anyone with any insight please help!!
Thanks Jeremy
