coolant leak after coolant pump replacement

What kind of tractor, what kind of motor? Be specific.

I guess you're referring to the water pump. First thing I would think is gasket didn't seat, or is torn or defective. Do you see any puddles under the truck after its shut down?

How much antifreeze is it using over a course of days/miles?

 

Many times the hoses and clamps are reused that connect to the water pump to keep costs down. Once coolant hoses have been in service for a while they harden up. Once they are removed, and then reinstalled, they will never seal 100%. You probably have a hose or o-ring that was reused. A simple loose clamp could be the issue as well.

 

No worries...just trying to help us help you.

If it is weeping from the pump, and you don't have coolant leaking from anywhere else, and your oil isn't milky looking...I would suspect the gasket at the pump.

 

The above is absolutely true as well...I would run it with the hood open and see if you can spot where it's weeping from.

 

Uhhhhhhh no.
