Neon Water pump.

[OnyxSSS]

My brother in-law's neon is leaking water, all seems to be cooling fine. Does this sound like the water pump? Any Neon guys who might have tips for tracking this down?

After looking at the chilton manual:
1. I'll need to do a cam relearn?
2. Its not like a chevy with a weep hole, which might mean that it's not the water pump?

So should I tell him and bite the bullet and take it in so I dont get stuck with a neon in the driveway for weeks?

thanks in advance.

is it also leaking oil from the rear or the engine on the firewall side ?

I'll ask him, I am getting leary of the whole deal. The first thing I thought was head gasket.

Check the overflow bottle... If the hose is bad on the bottom it also likes to leak all the coolant out if the system is over filled or heats up enough...

Also check powersteering pump...
