Paul,
Without me looking at it, I can't tell U if its the water pump leaking or
not, but if its coming from the water pump area and not from anywhere above
the water pump ( head gasket) then U are right. In order to repleace the
water pump, I remove the pass side engine mount- this drops the engine on
the pass side down for eassier access. Put a piece of wood under the oil
pan- make sure not to dent it, and put a floor jack under neath the engine
to hold the engine away from from the cross member. I belive its like 6 or 7
bolts to take the water pump off. Its somewhat EZ to do. You can raise that
side of the engine or lower it, whatever U think will work better. If I'm
working from ABOVE the engine I lift the engine, if I'm working on a lift-
then I lower the engine and get it from the bottom.
