Rite guys just got my car back from the garage after having the head gasket done which has stopped the engine overheating. But i have got another problem it is still losing water i have checked all the hoses no cracks but we spotted the water pump is wet under neath and so is the radiator bracket by it. So i think it is the water pump if it is how easy are these to fit and how do u fit them
Thanx Spudgun

It could have been disturbed when the garage removed the head, I'd play dumb and take it back or get it pressure tested first, by this I mean the pressure test will show leaky hoses.

Of course, it could have been the water pump leaking all along which led to a shortage of water and then an overheating situation. However, I would expect a garage who had just done a head job to then check the car up to full operating temperature to check that the fan comes on, and then to check for leaks BEFORE giving the car back to the customer.
