water pump

ive got a 91 blazer, it seems to be leaking coolant from the waterpump, most of it seems to be dripping down to the ground, i changed the oil recently and there wasnt much discoloration in the oil, is there any chance this could be a gasket, or should i just be concerned with my water pump?

as of lately the temperature has been running the standard temperature.

The water pump only.

Water pumps usually come with a small weeper hole in the casting of the pump. :naughty:

If you see coolant leaking from this hole, it means that the seal is shot and coolant is leaking past the seal into the bearing. :disappoin

You may see anything from an ocassional drip to a steady stream of coolant. :grinno:

The only fix is to change the water pump. :grinyes:
