Argh ummmm, 1995, petrol engine, 2.4 litre.
All I know is there is a leak coming from the waterpump in the area where the oil filter is, they cannot see up properly.

i dont know the engine but they got a habbit of cracking heads and causing airlocks when they got a leak anywhere in that spaghetty cooling system, i would not drive it till you know the cost of repair, and you can only hope it has not already cracked the head as the diesel would have for sure.

The leak is probably coming out of the little hole under the pump, meaning the seals have gone and you need another water pump.

Its likely the water pump, so replace the water pump and the gasket

i am waiting on the engine number to see where the waterpump actuarly is, i think some have waterpump up front with alternator on a pto like driveshaft, and these enemas are usually better scrapped then fixed but untill we know the engine number of engine fitted,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!

Fair enough but when people come on here to ask a question why cant we just answer it without trying to confuse them If they are asking on here they dont know so keep your (not just you intrade) answers simple then the uncar people might understand you

it be hard to talk plain when the discription is vague for example i dont even think it is the waterpump but untill we have a engine code we dont know and cant look where the waterpump is actuarly fitted . Telling wrong things with to little information is not going to help.
