anti-freeze leaking from water pump

BigTone · Oct 13, 2012

I was trying to start the M today and I noticed that there was anti-freeze dripping onto the fan blades. Its a brand new after market water pump and I noticed that there was a brass colored nut in front of the fan blade and when I touched it it spun freely and seemed to stop leaking when I hand tightened it. Anyone have this happen to them and any ideas on how to tighten the nut without haveing to remove the water pump? thanks guys, Anthony

If you happen to have a small angle grinder the spanner wrench that came with it to change the abrasive wheel might fit the nut on the frt of the water pump, mine did. Don't go nuts on it, just snug it up a little at a time until it stops leaking.
