I have coolant leaking from the lower drivers side water pump bolt on a 98 4.0 sohc. I am curious if this means the timing cover is leaking or is it just the water pump itself? I can see a gasket there but also am wondering if that bolt goes through the timing cover into the block or just in the timing cover.
There is no water in the oil, dipstick is free of the dreaded milky bubbly residue. The motor has 200k on it and it is obviously the original water pump. If its just the water pump gasket will pull it and replace the water pump anyways. Just curious how far I need to go. No need to dig deeper if I dont have to.
Thanks
