Water pump pouring fluid
Hey everybody, I am racing my boosted frs so I am being in no means gentle on it. Stuff is going to break, more rapidly obviously. However I'm encountering a strange problem which I haven't seen come up around here. On the bottom of the face of the water pump, I am pouring coolant out like crazy. Enough to cause smoke from it burning off of the headers while still a lot being left on the ground. Has anybody had their water pump seals fail? It doesn't look like a big fix, but if it is, enlighten me.

Have not heard of this one but it does sound like water pump seals. What kind of coolant are you running and how high are the temps?

I don't think the dealer would appreciate that lol. Basically everything has been modified.

So for an update everybody. I noticed my external wastegate dump pipe had come loose and was smacking into my water pump pulley. It was definitely bearing failure after inspecting when I pulled the pump. The hits to the pulley is the only thing I can see causing it.

If it was too close it may have heated up the shaft and melted the seal
