Coolant leak, does it sound like water pump?

Post by waynedance »

Hi got a leak on my Mk1 C5 2.2hdi

Looking at the side of the engine on the cam belt side there is coolant on the bottom left hand side, would I be correct in thinking this is the water pump?

If it appears to be coming from behind the cam belt cover, Yes. Change the cam belt as well.
