Antifreeze leak V70-XC70 1998

Klaus,

So it appears that I have a small leak, presumably at the water pump. All hoses and other assemblies are dry.

I plan to take a look at the water pump bolts tonight.

Here is what I've noticed as of last night. The drip at this point if very small if not minimal. When the engine is cold and I grab and squeeze the upper radiator hose a few time I will see a very small amount of anti-freeze form at the lower left section of the water pump (looking from inside timing cover) and then a few drips will drip down. Now when I warm the car up and the highest pressure is obtained I get nothing out of the water pump, so I'm assuming it seals itself once it expands.

What I also believe is happening is if I do not squeeze the upper radiator hose I believe that it will not leak, but I still need to prove this, but might become a mute point once I tighten the bolts.

Thanks for your time. Will post later once I've done more work.

Later,

Matt
