Hi all,
I am usually in the protege section of the forum, but my buddy is having issues with his 2007 Mazda 3 (2.0L) and thought I would help.
There is a steady coolant leak, but not when idling.
Seems like its getting all over the accessory belt, which may have fried his alternator (battery is at 31V )
When he revs the engine, I can see some splashing happening around the water pump area, but its really hard to tell since everything is already wet. None of the pipes are leaking from our inspection.
I am thinking it the water pump O-ring, what do you guys think?
Thanks,
Phil.
