changing waterpump??
I am fairly certain my waterpump is leaking. We pressurized the system and it is dripping off the oil pan. Took off air cleaner and looked with mirror but could not actually see the leak but it appears to be from behind the pump...
I searched the forum but found not writeup on how to change the waterpump.
Has someone has done this and posted any instructions?
All the best,
DP

Permatex RTV blue silcone used on my BMW seemed to work...

Just did mine, and it's not bad at all.
You will need the right tools, 3 of the 4 bolts that hold the pump are torx.
I had to take the strut out that holds the engine to get to the bolts.
Took about 4.5 hours.
