tammybrian2 Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Hi everyone, i'm about to get into replacing the water pump, but i thought i'd ask before i start tearing into it. 08 ford edge limited, 160k, my neice was driving when engine started to overheat, was leaking fluid from passenger side, i'm guessing from the overflow container fluid was hot with air bubbles being pushed out. (that's the description she gave me ). her grampa changed thermostat but it sounds like coolant is still leaking out the overflow. this sound like a waterpump issue? thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1004ron Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Welcome. Suspect a blown head gasket - you can loan or buy a device from Autozone to test the cooling system for combustion gas to confirm head gasket issue, and/or a compression and leak down test.

dabangsta Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago There are a couple of passages out of the "front" of the engine, which is on the passenger side, that coolant would weep through if it was a waterpump leak, but a full on water pump failure, like the fins are no longer there, could make it over heat (pushing lots of coolant out of the coolant bottle), but there are more likely candidates as mentioned above.
