Hey guys, I have a 2001 5.9 and it seems to be leaking coolant from somewhere and I haven't tracked it down. Anybody know where the weep hole is on the water pump? It seems to be wet around the water pump but the pump itself is dry. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Upper rad hose, thermostat housing, by pass hose, engine coolant temp sensor, timing chain cover. Check them all. And the hole is behind the WP pulley on the bottom of the WP.
It's rare that it would leak from there, and more common for it to leak at the timing cover to block. Clean everything off and check it out real good. Try tightening all the bolts on the front of the motor first also.
