Apply a dry paper towel to the coolant deposits around the water pump. If the paper towel remains dry the leak was temporary and the water pump does not need to be replaced.
If the paper towel becomes wet the leak is active and the water pump should be replaced.
*a | Dry Paper Towel: DO NOT Replace Water Pump | *b | Wet Paper Towel: Replace Water Pump |
Is the coolant residue wet on the paper towel?
