Hi, I have some ant- freeze spraying on the left side of themotor area. I think it’s the water pump but not sure if it would spray out of seal or getting in the fan and spraying. I don’t bel it’s the intakeand it’s not the rad I just replaced that last year- Any thoughts? It’s goingto the dealer tom to have the left axel shaft seal replaced under power trainand hopefully it’s the water pump since that’s covered also.

Hi RamedHemi,

I'm not familiar with the spray issue you're describing, but if I can be of any assistance to you while your vehicle is at the dealership, please don't hesitate to reach out and PM your VIN!

If it is spraying the anti freeze must be getting on the fan

Is the coolant leak under the air intake? Sounds like a blown pump though.

I take that back, I brought to the dealer for the axel leak and they said the water pump is indeed leaking. So they are replacing both for me. Gotta love lifetime power train was very surprised to find out a while back that the water pump was covered. They don't care about my badly rusted oil pan and rotting engine block. Great quality
