My water pump is leaking from the weep hole. Is it possible for coolant to get into the motor? Parts are on order and plan on changing it out ASAP. Just want to make sure I don't have to worry about any secondary effects.
WOW...three pumps. Were they all off the same truck? I did some reading on the forums and seems like a lot of pumps going out between 80-100K miles. I just turned 90k on mine. I guess this is normal. Well this is my first diesel and no better way to learn how to wrench on it than to "Just Do It"FWIW, I have had 3 waterpumps changed for leaking out the weephole and done oil analysis after each one (I do it when I actually change my oil) and have had no antifreeze in the oil. But do get it checked just in case.
I just did mine three weeks ago.130,000 miles.Ive heard as low as 45000 miles on up.This isnt just a wham bam waterpump change either.If your mechanical, plan on at least 4-6 hours with all the new parts in your lap.It isnt hard but it is involved.WOW...three pumps.

3 pumps in less than 60,000 miles on the same truck...thank god they were all under warranty. If this one is going to go, it needs to go by july .WOW...three pumps. Were they all off the same truck?

Dang...seems like some bad luck. I've gotten "BAD" brand new parts before. You think that's the case with your water pump? I could see one, but three just seems excessive. Good luck with the current one....3 pumps in less than 60,000 miles on the same truck...thank god they were all under warranty. If this one is going to go, it needs to go by july .
one pump didnt even last 4,000 miles...second one didnt last but 8,000 (actually was leaking before i took it in..just waiting for spring) this last one has been in for nearly a year though...but I didnt drive my truck for about 6 months of the last year too.
