Water pump exploded?
Hey guys, I have this brown liquid all over the front of my 7.3 psd, and there is small drops of liquid driping from underneath the fan pulley, but the truck has not overheated yet. So what do you think

I think your weephole is doing it's job. Time for a new pump brotha.Before catastophic failure the weephole will begin to leak coolant.

Do they fail immediately afterwards? could I still drive around for a couple of days? Thanks

Brown liquid???? If it's antifreeze you have a serious rust problem in the cooling system and you need to really flush that whole system.

I agree with Kwik.
You seem to have some corrosion going on there.
Water pumps can "lightly leak" forever and no real problem. OR they can just give up instantly.
Better err on the side of caution and replace it now. Easy fix and not too expensive.
