Water pump

[d7es3l]

Okay, so I just swapped my 1995 water pump out because it failed. I removed the lower radiator hose to drain the coolant because that is much faster, coolant went everywhere. I put the new pump in with no problems. Now I can't tell if I have a leak or if there is still some coolant somewhere that flew out that is dripping. It looks like the leak is dripping down from the plate right before the oil pan. Are there any parts that could possibly be leaking? My truck has been parked in my angled driveway so I figure the coolant is falling back from somewhere.

Wash it, and check for leaks.

It's possible that the water pump o-ring came partially out of it's groove while you were re-installing it.
Did you put a couple dabs of RTV in the groove to secure the o-ring while you re-installed?

Yes I did. It stopped leaking so I am assuming it was just coolant that found it's way on my block when I drained it. Thank you for the responses!
