Possible water pump leak

[illinijeff]

I did the bypass tube repair yesterday. It took me about 1.5 hrs. It is easy if you first remove the cowling/wiper motor assembly and the cabin air intact duct. There are two bolts to remove, one on the top of the water pump, and the second in the back on the power steering pump. After that remove the hose clamps and the flexible hoses, with a little wiggling it should come out easy. The part cost $58 at the local ford dealer.

BTW- Some have posted they have brown cooling water, this is likely from corrosion of this tube and lower tube that comes out of the water pump.
