Small drip of coolant from weep hole
« on: June 10, 2015 - 05:45:20 PM »
I was going to attempt to start my new engine today until I noticed coolant on the ground. I can see that its a small drip from the weep hole. Does this mean the pump is no good? It's 10 years old but new.  Of coarse there isn't a parts store near me that has one if it is.  :bricks1:
