Hi this sounds weird does the smoke come out from the front engine covers? the squealing could be the cambelt trying to turn a semi or completly ceased waterpump which would cause the smoke after a while, also without the waterpump working properly the engine will leak water and anti freeze out the overflow and overheat really quickly
If it is coming from the front of the engine and almost dead center, then probably the waterpump is going bad. The waterpump is located underneath the timing covers (2 pieces), and requires you remove the timing belt to change it. I can email you a procedure for removing and reinstalling the timing belt if you wish. Send a request to [email protected] if you decide to change the waterpump.
Possible leak areas waterpump, heater core, intake manifold gasket, radiator or hoses. Waterpumps have what they call "weep holes" which is an early warning system to prevent major damage when pump fails. The weep hole needs to be inspected from below and is usual behind waterpump pulley. If it's your heater core, you should smell anti freeze inside truck and in most cases windshield will fog up. Radiator could be pin hole to front side of radiator (which is buried behind AC condenser & grill) and if it was head gasket, intake manifold symptoms would be coolant in oil OR lots of white smoke from exhaust.
Try parking it on a clean dry surface and see if you can narrow down area where leak is coming from.
Sounds like your waterpump has gone bad. Could be fan belt broke that drives waterpump (would explain large rubber pce hanging out) Have a reputable shop look at it for you.
It could be a number of problems. If coolant is not leaking from the radiator or bad hose the water pump is the most likely culprit. There is a weephole that the water can leak out of and the only way to repair it is to replace the water pump. Good luck
The pump does have a weep hole in it. If a seal in the pump fails coolant will come out of the weep hole. Looks like you may have a bad water pump seal, but check gaskets, intake manifold and hoses as these can leak in this area as well. So determine where the coolant is coming from before investing in a new waterpump.
check your water pump sounds like the bearring is gone. try to see if anty freeze is leaking behind the waterpump pully Use a small mirror to look behind the pump pully if you see moisture or a water line from the pump replace I would . good luck CJ
Its hard to figure this one out, without looking at it. pressure test the system pin point the leak, it could be your waterpump. hoses thermostat housing. freeze plugs, head gasket, radiator.
It sounds like the WaterPump is Bad. On this Car I would have a Mechanic Repair this. It can be Really tough to Replace on your Own. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!
Sounds like they installed the pump incorrectly. Gasket misalignment? Started right after the waterpump was installed? Hose clamp not quite tight enough? Just a thought. The passenger front wheel area is just the right area for it to be the pump. I hope this was able to help you. If you still need me, I'll be here. Best wishes to you.
