<DIV><FONT size=2>But if standing idle with no coolant for some time then yes
could be seals. Take the fan belt off and spin the pump - coolant or
noise? Same with the alt. The run it without the fan belt and see if
the noise is there or not. Depends on the noise but the fan blade grommets
could have perished, does the fan wobble about?</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I’m thinking the water pump has failed? Here is where
water is dripping out.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Short history – car was running and driving; we took the
engine out to work on the transmission; life got in the way; a few years later
we put them all back in (and, peripherally, there was a problem with the
clutch fork so we had to pull it again!!!! looking for a little sympathy
. . .) got it back in, started it up, and getting a steady stream of
drips right here. and there is a bit of a racket coming from the front
of the engine.<o:p></o:p></P>
