Subject:      water pump leak in ocean springs, MS?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi everyone,

I am in an 84 vanagon westy wolfsburg in Ocean Springs, MS and believe that I have sprung a leak from my water pump.  When the engine is running I can hear what seems to be a bad bearing.  The pulley on the front is showing very fine metal shavings and seems to be working its way out of the pump.  I am assuming that my whole pump is failing. When I turn the engine off a fair amount of antifreeze is leaking from somewhere above the oil filter and not from the pulley itself.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I am very new to this engine and am clueless as to how easy or hard this is to fix/replace?   Can anyone point me in the direction of a parts house or graveyard where I may be able to find a pump asap.  I am hoping to get this mean machine back to Memphis, TN tomorrow.....essshhh!  Thanks so much for your time and attenntion.


All the best,

Brad
