<p>Did you ever grease the pump after it was fitted? Should be done
periodically. At least every year<br>
</p>
<p>Did you ever change the coolant? At least every two to three
years. Sounds a bit like stale coolant to me. <br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">I almost
hesitate to post about another problem but here goes:<br>
<br>
Yesterday while almost done with a long ride to make sure that
the brakes were okay (they were) I got a spatter of oily drops
on the windshield and when I popped the bonnet i found a
pretty liberal spray of oil across its underside, just above
the fan. This morning after cleaning everything off I put the
car up on jack stands and ran the engine at about 2K to see if
I could find the source. <br>
<br>
There is a slow but steady leak--perhaps a drop every three or
four seconds--coming off of the back face of the water pump
pulley, which leaks onto the fan belt and gets tossed across
the engine compartment. The strange thing is that it does not
seem like engine oil as it is brown in color and has a
definite bittersweet taste--nothing at all like the color or
taste of the engine oil. It is sticky and looks almost like
Permatex Indian Head Gasket Shellac.<br>
<br>
There is a grease nipple on the water pump and though I know I
lubed it when I last changed the water pump that was some time
ago. I am not certain about the color of the grease but am
thinking it was either red or blue.<br>
<br>
There is no oil in the water nor any water in the oil. <br>
The leak is not coming out of the weep hole in the water pump.
<br>
The leak does not seem like oil that is emulsified--it really
seems like shellac but that makes no sense to me.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts will be appreciated.</div>
