If the water pump is okay what could be the other causes?
Most likely your heater hoses or radiator / lower radiator hose has been worn through or otherwise unclamped from your engine. The fluid could be seen as coming out of the bottom even though the tear or break is at the back, side or top of the engine block.
Soak up the fluids up after the engine cools. Dry off everything in and around the engine with rags or whatever you can spare. Then as you slowly add fluid you may be able to pinpoint the exact spot where the fluid is leaking. That's your repair spot.
It is VERY unlikely your engine is actually broken. The worst case would be a rusted through freeze plug (these are located below the exhaust manifold to keep frozen fluid from breaking your block in extremely cold, say minus 50 degrees, temperatures). Those take a mechanic to replace. Parts are cheap. Labor should not be more than a few hundred dollars at most. Probably less.
Recently replaced my water pump way back in the woods. You are certain it isn't the same thing? Grab the fan blade 7 try to move it back & forth..The guy above gave you sound advice, as the freeze plugs can leak.. Have to have more information.. Exactly where is the liquid coming from? Under the radiator, or under the engine.. There is a transmission cooling line going back the to the transmission, however, it is mostly sending the fluid to the radiator.. Good luck! You will find it! Ben
