My 1.9 thermostat housing recently sprang a pinhole leak. Its behind the flanged piece that contains the short hose connection to the cylinder head. I suspect corrosion is the cause. I checked my records, I replaced the water pump 4 1/2 years ago and approx. 20,000 miles ago. Questions: Can I get that connector piece off without removing the water pump? If not, should I replace the water pump while I'm in there or just re-install it with new gaskets? Any advice? Thanks, Walter |
