Re: Water Pump?

Well Mike561 you need to carefully check for any external coolant leaks. Look from underneath engine with sufficient lighting. Look under the water pump, area of the cylinder heads, the block, lower intake manifold, 90 degree elbow, heater core hoses and thermostat housing. Double check the radiator and both the lower and upper radiator hoses. Look for visible signs like puddles where you park.

If no external leaks are visible then it may be consuming coolant internally. GTPs are not immune from lower intake manifold gasket problems. Also, there are two o-ring seals where the supercharger mounts to the LIM that can get flaky causing coolant loss.
