2nd Opinion:Antifreeze/Water Usage

[Sunset_Z28]

Once more just in case I forgot. How much does it leak?

 

[daddy]

Its that hot leak. Its drips only around 1.5 quarts of water.

Dave, what about the antifreeze smell in the exhaust and the smoke? What about the lack of evidence of a leak?

Do us a favor. Fill up the radiator and, put a bucket on the ground beneath the water pump and then go turn the truck on and let it run for a half hour. I'm assuming your average drive is 30 minutes or less. Let us know how much leaks out into the bucket. Also let us know if the smoke and smell are still there.

Take pictures of the fluid in the bucket whether it's 1.5 quarts or a half-gallon.

Nah, its the water pump for sure, I know. I just ask you guys this stuff to get you all to give me the right answer so that I am positive that I know that I don't do it right.

OK, Dave, fix the water pump since that is an obvious leak that you can see. Then let us know how things go once that is done and you have driven the vehicle for a day or so.

Yeah. I'm sure his mom would help him out. Just bring it to a good shop.
