Mitsubishi Repair: Water Pump 95 mirage se, leaking radiator, radiator fluid


Question
I have a 95 mirage and i think i am leaking radiator fluid from my water pump, however i am not totally sure that it is the pump.  Where exactly is it located on the belt system?  My thoughts are the bottom middle, but want to be totally sure

Answer
Shane: You find the belts that run your car, the water pump would be the bottom pulley on those belts. That water pump has very small holes in it when it starts to go bad, it will start to leak out those holes. So if you see coolant colored water under the water pump or if the car was to sit someplace long enough. You might see some coolant on the street under the car. If your car uses water, heats and the such you most likely needs a new water pump. Please don't put this off, your car's engine needs water being pumped around it to keep it cool. So that it will run right but also so it will keep things cool, you do not want to over cook an engine. Or you could blow the head gasket and that would not be good. Hope this helps and God bless: Linda
