Coolant system question

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (marc_scirocco)]

 If you are running water now, it won't show where it leaks.

The water pumps usually leaks from a tiny hole just underneat the pulley.

If it leaks, you will see sediments.

I don't know how late JH motors with AC look like, but early ones are a
major pain to replace the wp.

Cheers.
