Waterpump leaking..?
1990 F350 7.3L
I noticed some antifreeze under the truck recently. The only eveidence of I leak I can find is under the truck, on the front of the engine behind the front of the crankshaft pully, and down the front of the oil pan.
Is this the waterpump failing? Gasket?
How big of a chore is replacing the pump?
Thanks!

Sounds like it is coming out of the weep hole in the waterpump.
It is not a hard job, remove the left hand thread nut holding the fan clutch on before you loosen the belt. And pay attention to the bolts for the water pump 2 bolts are shorter and have to go back in the same place. The last few new pumps that I have bought has had these two bolts come with it but I suspect this is a brand thing.
