Water pump replaced and still makes a roring sound

yes - take a rubber hose with one end against you ear and listen around the motor while it running to help pinpoint where noise is coming from-keep in mind the hose is so yu wont get yourself close to any moving parts. ps-if its the power stearing pump the sound will change as you move the steering wheel

My front windshield wiper pump does not pump washer fluid but the wipers work fine , the back wiper and pump works

First make sure you have water in washer reservoir, with ignition on reds (not started) then get someone to operate washer while bonnet is closed otherwise the wipers (may come on) may damage your bonnet (would also be a good idea to throw some water on your screen before commencing), listen for a buzzing noise, if you can hear that noise than your washer motor is ok, if not - if fitted with fuse check it and if fuse is ok than your motor needs attention. If motor is ok than while someone is operating the washer motor look under the car to see if there is any water leaking, if there is water leaking than the hose going from your washer bottle to your washer nozzles has come off somewhere, visually check this hose, usually small diameter and clear in colour, reconnect or replace it. If there is no water leak and you have full water and motor is working, than your nozzle, usually located on the bonnet or wiper arms are blocked, this mainly happens after polishing the vehicle. There are 2 main ways of cleaning these nozzles, easiest way is to get a fine pin and poke it several times, this will clean it 85% of the time, if it does not work than you need to find the hose that connects to it and pull apart at a join, closer to the nozzle the better, and give it short burst of compressed air, have to be careful not to pop the hose out at the nozzle as some of them are located in really awkard points, hope this helps.

I have leaking coolant coming from behind the engine closer to the pulley system. it is not the hoses, radiator, or water pump seal.

closely inspect the "weep" holes on the front of the water pump for any liquid coming out of there.. you will have to try to position yourself so that you can see behind the pully. there is also a chance it's leaking from one of the tubes running across the top of the motor. second place to inspect are the frost plugs. do you happen to live in a cold climate ?

How does my heating pipes connect to my engine

By rubber hoses running from the engine and radiator. One of them will be close to where the top hose go's into the radiator and the other coming from the engine close to the water pump. Depending on what type of motor you have. Front wheel drive? It will be two small hoses in between the engine and firewall. And will be real hard to even see. Much less get to. But They are hooked up to the heater core which should be under the dash.

I hope this helps?

Car overheats new radiator 2 t stats diffrent eng new water pump, had same problem with first motor cust cooked first motor filled cooling system with radicat plus overheats sitting in shop heats up real...

Okay sounds like you have a clog within the system, first of all, drain the whole cooling system, run clean water thought the top of the radiator, look to see when the water comes out nice clear, replace the lower hose if you have a petcock close that, refill the top of the radiator, until it is full, start the engine, with engine running turn your heater, let the car warm a little, then reopen the petcock or loosen the lower hose and let the water draw out a little until is pouring out nice and fast, then re-close the petcock and stop the engine.
try and get 40% of the water out, and replace it with 50/50 antifreeze fill to the right point of the cars specs.

Have an '85 CJ7--put in new radiator and thermostat, new water pump--fan shroud installed, Jeep still overheats, motor runs good, doesn't act like it's a head gasket problem????? Can't figure out why it's...

Take out the thermostat and run it like this for while. If the motor still over heats: Look over by the battery, do you see where those two hoses from the radiator and the water manifold are going into the firewall? Take the hose going to the manifold from the firewall off of the connection at the firewall and connect it directly to the water pump. I think the manifold hose is the one on the right just make sure it's not the one coming from the water pump. You'll have to remove the hose coming to the fire wall from the water pump where it is connected at the pump but, that's OK for now just tie/tape it to something out of the way. Now then, your water pump will be sending water directly to the water manifold without any obstruction. When you run the motor for a little while and find that it stays super cool, I then suggest (if you want any heated air this winter) that you have the heater core (there behind the firewall where the two hoses were going) flushed clean or replaced and hooked back up. Once water can flow freely through the system your thermostat can probably be reinstalled w/ out overheating the motor.

Overheating

The place to start is the thermastat. Sounds like it is probably stuck closed.
