Yet another thing i spotted when i had the car up in the air today...
There was water collecting, and slowly dripping from the big pulley on the bottom of the engine. It looked to be leaking out from the bottom of the timing belt cover. It wasnt leaking rapidly, and it was doing it with the engine off. The car has been loosing water for a while, i put it down to an air lock tho because it stopped doing it - but that was when i was using it a lot.
When would a knackered water pump leak? Engine off like this - or do you think its something else?
Another thing, i dont think this warrents a new thread tho. When the car was jacked up, with the OS wheel removed - i fired her up. I'm 99.9% sure i knocked the car into neutral first, but the OS hub was rotating slowly with the engine running.. the NS wheel was still on the ground and so not spinning.
It makes no sense does it? I must've had it in first and just not realised (didnt climb into the car and start it from there as i dont like putting extra weight into cars on stands!)
