Yeah, it could be that pipe. or one of the o-rings. Top off the coolant in the radiator (if it's low), then take a good look while it's running and see if you can find it. The water pump is behind the timing belt cover, so if it's actually leaking there, you won't be able to see it really, it will just look like it's coming out from behind the cover at the bottom near the crank pulley and oil pan.


whatever it is, it's not related to the distributor [8D]

 

It has to be the water pump, just like you explained...is what I see. Now I did notice a couple weeks ago drips on the outter part of the oil pan...the pics I took didnt come up very well.

I just wasnt planning on working on this yet. Good to know I didnt screw anything up with the dizzy.

Basically if I understand this right...what I will have to do is take the timing belt cover off, middle cover? After getting to the pump or visible pipe, whatever the leak is from, once I fix it, will I need to do the timing?

Gosh the game of mechanics is a big puzzle...figuring things out and putting everything back to get a good picture. I think there is a reason my father worked on the car with a 6 pack

Also, don't know where you're at with mileage and/or if its been done recently. But since you are already tearing into that area for the water pump you should do the timing belt while you are at it. That is only if it hasnt already been done though.

 

Do the timing belt while you're at it, water pumps are fairly cheap for that car and not tooo terribly difficult to replace. However, you will be learning how to do a timing belt on your car when you do the water pump anyway so might as well as just replace the thing.
