La_Madre_Tuya Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 What's up everyone. So I took a spill about a month or so ago on my shee out in the street. Nothing too serious, or at least I thought. Broke a tie rod which is all I thought happened but yesterday I went to wrench on her a bit and went to check my coolant level since I noticed some spilled out in the accident and as I opened the cap it started leaking like crazy under the motor. Looks to be from the water/coolant pump but directly underneath? Seems like at the seal. Anyone have a clue what it might be? Haven't cracked it open to see inside yet Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppedupandcutdown Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Well one things for sure, it isn't leaking from under the motor. Maybe off of the bottom of the motor. The lowest point that there is coolant is the cover for the water pump. It could be leaking from anywhere (hose from clutch cover to back of head for example) and running down through the hole in the middle of the cases to the ground. You'll just have to clean and dry everything and inspect. It could also be the coolant hose coming from the front of the clutch cover, might have pinched/torn in the accident. Was it the right side that needed a tie rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Just open it and be sure. The seal will determine whether it's leaking coolant in to the gear box. Check if it's milky. If it's coming out the face of the pump under the waterpump cover, that'll be a gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes it was the right side tie rod that broke and the leak definitely was a result of the accident Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got around to opening the water pump cover yesterday... the gasket was definitely the issue, the screws holding the plate inside were completely loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
