95 Maxima coolant leak

[randyjaneway]

Coolant leaks out as soon as it is poured in; it runs down the front of the block between the power steering pump and crank pulley. At first I thought it must be the water pump, but after looking at where the water pump is located (on the opposite side of the crank pulley as the power steering pump) I wonder if it could be the water pump. Does this sound like the water pump is leaking, or should I be looking for something else, and if so, what?

Water pump. Its the only coolant issue wearing down by the mile. Tend to go in any engine 'after 100k' miles... (rarely head gasket).

Dont drive (long trips = hot engine) before u get coolant leakages in ctrl, risk is engine heads warp and gasket start leaking.
