2001 Opel Astra coolant leaking problems

Report a Problem

Date:October 24, 2011, 11:36 pm
Name:Alan Johnson
Location:Australia, New South Wales, Sydney
Vehicle:Opel Astra
Year:2001
Problems:Using coolant - about 1L a month for past 6/9 months, but getting worse.
Getting under the car, I can see drips on the small hose at the back of the engine which comes from the water pump (I think it's the water pump).
The hose is in good condition, and I put an extra clamp on it just to make sure.
However that made no difference, so the other possible sources of coolant in the area are the head gasket and the water pump.
However, the car runs well, does not overheat and no water in the oil. And no noise from water pump.
There is also evidence of coolant around the timing belt which makes me think it's the water pump. What else could it be?
Any members has similar problems?
