2004 GMC Envoy V8 coolant leak

Please get a Coolant pressure test done which will expose the real leak.

SOURCE: leaking coolant from around water pump just put in

If it's the weap hole the pump is going bad. That hole is designed to leak as a "warning" that the pump is going to fail.

SOURCE: I have a 1990 gmc 1500 5 speed that is overheating

It sounds like you have covered the basics. I will provide a list of some of the more major things. I would recommend having the coolant system pressure tested, as well as a compression test on the cylinders. At this point, it could be one of the following. 1: The bypass hose (This connects from the intake to the water pump) 2: Leaking freeze plug or plugs 3: Leaking intake manifold gasket or cracked intake 4: Bad head gasket or cracked head 5: Cracked block Having the coolant system pressure tested should expose any external leaks. Having the cylinders compression tested may tell of any internal problems.

SOURCE: Loosing small amount of coolant

Check your manifold(upper plenum) area. A leak in the gaskets is common in GM cars. heater fittings where leaking bad in my 2000 impala and now I have to replace those gaskets. The best recommendation I can give you if you wanna save money is get a Tech like myself not working for a company who rewards them for selling parts, and they should be able to find the direct leak(s) and not just guess.
I would start with a simple coolant leak detecting dye Kit.

How to-detect a coolant leak 2006 gmc envoy

A shop, or you, could put pressure in the coolant system, then check all over for leaks. Parts stores sell a coolant pressure testing pump- you just place it in the radiator, pump the system up to about 15 psi, then start looking for leaks. The pressure shoould make any leaks quite apparent.

My ford has a leak on the right side front it smells like coolant over a two day period all the coolant leaked on the ground what do i do?

Well depending on what engine is in this vehicle, it could possibly be the water pump that is leaking or possibly a "freeze out" plug on the block. I would say it is more than likely the water pump. If you have no noticeable leaks from any of the hoses or radiator, i would definitely suspect the water pump or possibly the thermostat housing may have cracked and started to leak. My suggestion would be to look at all your hoses carefullly and then check the housings where the hoses connect to the engine block, if no signs of coolant are present, check around the water pump for noticeable coolant leaks. Hope this helps in your search for that coolant leak.

I have a coolant leak and I belive I need to replace the water pump, A 2004 GMC P-up 4.3 V-8

You need to locate the water pump. It is turned by a fan belt. There should be water hoses running into and out of the pump. Water pumps have a weep hole that leaks water when the pump starts to fail. It is usually hard to see as it is behind the pulley for the fan belt. If you're seeing a leak in this area it is a pretty good chance that the pump is bad and needs replaced.

My car is over heating and cokkent oil is leaking

Cars generally overhead when engine coolant is below acceptable levels. That can be caused from leakage, blockage or equipment malfunction.

  • Inspect coolant level in the vehicle's reservoir or radiator.
  • Inspect radiator and heater hoses for cracking causing leaking.
  • Inspect the radiator for leaking.
  • Inspect the inside of radiator for smudge build-up, a sure sign that the water jackets might be restricted.
  • Inspect water pump for leaking or broken belt (serpentine belt)
  • Check to ensure water pump properly functioning, does the pump's pulley turn?
Repair or replace any faulty item.

MY TRUCK IS LEAKING SOMETIMES COOLANT, COULD IT BE A HOSE OR THE WATER PUMP?

Check the radiator and hoses for leaks. Also, look at the water pump and see if any coolant is leaking out of the vent or "weep" hole. If coolant is leaking from the weep hole, the water pump is defective and will need replaced. When checking hoses, look for cracks and leaks, especially around the hose clamps. Hope this helped and best wishes.
