montclairclash Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 i replaced my water pump on my seville almost 3 years ago. ive noticed recently the smelling of burining anit-freeze when i get out of my car. is this a cause for concern for my water pump? im curious because i got thepump under warranty and im thinking it is it. some help would be much appreciated. do water pumps usually go in 3 years???

Caddynut Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 I would look and see where the antifreeze is coming from. It could be the water pump again, but take a look and see where it is wet. I thought mine was going again because I smelled antifreeze, but looked and found out that my radiator cap had worked itself loose a little....a relief!!! 2008 BMW 328xi 2007 Chrysler Aspen 2001 Cadillac Seville STS 2000 Ford Ranger XLT1998 Mitsubishi Spyder Convertible 1996 Saturn SC-11991 Ford F-1501979 Chevrolet Caprice1968 Ford LTD1965 VW Beetle "Herbie The Love Bug Replica** 1961 VW Beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Check the water pump cover gasket. The pump should last much longer than 3 years, unless it came from AutoZone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonA Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Look for signs of a leak. Most likely, it's the water pump cover seal. It may have a burr or nick in it.
