Coolant pump design characteristics
| Newer Ford engines use a coolant pump with a seal that is lubricated by coolant and utilize an integral weep chamber in the pump housing.
The coolant is used to lubricate the water pump seal. At this point it collects in the weep chamber, and later evaporates with normal usage. This can sometimes result in the exterior cosmetic staining due to the vapor escaping past the vent hole and collecting on the pump housing instead of inside the weep chamber. |
Signs of corrosion and or coolant staining water pump example
| Staining on the pump indicates an earlier event or normal operation which does not constitute as a water pump failure. Slight staining and residual dried coolant build up around the weep chamber vent is considered normal |
Leaking water pump example
| Coolant pump will have wet coolant residue with an evident puddle occurring on the pump weep chamber. |
Coolant Pump Inspection
Towel has only dry/waxy residue – coolant pump seal is working properly-do not replace pump Towel is wet – coolant pump is leaking – replace coolant pump |
