I thought my water pump failed the other day, as coolant was running from that area. After disassembly to install a new water pump, I determined the pump was fine, but the small hose from the water pump to the thermostat housing had been leaking. (I went ahead and replaced the pump since I had it out).
I also discovered my radiator had a small leak, so replaced it as well.
Question--does the upper radiator hose "fill" with coolant? Mine only seems to get a small flow from the thermostat housing to the radiator. I'm wondering if my thermostat is only opening part way.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
