Help needed

My 98 wagon is leaking water, it appears that its only leaking when warm/hot. Iv looked underneath at the leak and water is dripping onto outlet manifold onto 1 of manifold joins. Its dark outside so couldnt tell where it was coming from. As i look underneath at the water residue its near the sump area, its only a little leak and i have to top water up maybe once a week. Any help as to where or what is causing it would be great. Ill try and take a pic of underneath if it will help.

this is what its leaking onto

Maybe the pipe at the back of the inlet manifold, mine did this when it was weeping..

I hope it is a pipe and nowt serious as i got no cash, went out with a torch and still cant see nowt. Drips every 5 secs or so.

Which side right side

Yeah mate pass side, at top of photo is rad hose

could be water pump, 1 of the 3 water pipes that connect to the water pump or the rad hose

Bust radiator i dare say by the colour of the pipe and radiator its been leeking. Check the metal crimp on the side pieces. Tgey run the full height on both sides mate. Prone to expanding and seeping

Or bottom rad hose where the clip is. Change that for a jubilee clip

Ill have to look in the morn as iv looked with a torch an cant see nowt, if its a water pump am i rite in saying its a timing belt off job? Im just hoping its a split pipe or a a jubilee clip.

yeah its timing belt off job, normally when they go water leaks from round the pulley

Ide do the hose first mate mine used to leak due to one of them shitty clips. There good when there new and first fitted but after a few year they loose there grip

As i say i can't see where t leak is coming from. Ill have a look in morn and take it from there. Iv been thinking the worst since iv noticed it.

Nahh itl be a clamp or sumit mate

Marshffs mine was doing the same thing last week took the car to get tracking and camber set up off sidewaysdan.we seen a dripping from were yours is dripping it was dripping down on to the black water pipe then on to the same place yours is.i could smell the antifreez and water in the car when heaters were on hot.took it down to andy kindon and he had to change the water pump.now car smells fine and no leaks so i would give andy kindon a ring or pm and get him to take a look for you.seems to me like you have the same problem i had.let the car stand for a couple of hours to cool down and get down on the passangerside floor and put your hand under next to the black hose and feel for dripping it will be above the black hose next to the thermostat dripping down you should feel the dripping on to your hand or the thermostat will be wet off were it had leaked out of the pump well thats how we found out it was my waterpump.it could just be one of the little hoses that go on to the pump aswell.but mine was the waterpump leaking hope this has helped you out mate.

Funny you should say that as iv just got back from local garage and he had a look underneath and he said it seems to be weeping from the waterpump gasket. He said ya have ya block, gasket then water pump. He has quoted me £120 to fix supplied and fitted. Timing belt off job. Thanks alot for all your help and ill pm andy now and find out what crack is.

ok fella sounds like the water pump to me i had all the same things wrong with mine it would only drip when car was warmed and for a bit when cooling down.will drop you a pm mate.

Thats whats happening bud, stop start sort of thing. Cheers marra
