[W126 Coupe] Coolant Leak

[Mike R.]

I was afraid of this. I've heard that the pumps are expensive and it's a
pain to put them in. 

Found the pump for around $160. Does the Harmonic Balancer really have to
come off? :-(

Later,
Mike R.

That's how the water pump starts leaking. Leaks then stops, then it starts
the grinding noise. The weep hole is a waste of time looking at, due to none
will be apparent. Mine stopped for about three months. Then turned into a
water fall. Same deal front passenger side drip... time to pull the dist.
and harmonic balancer.
Not a fun job.
