I recently within the last 30 days, had my water pump replaced because it started leaking from the pully. The replacement was OEM. The replacement is leaking from the weep hole. It only leaks after I have really pushed it hard. Is this an issue with the pump and should be replaced again or just something in the general design?

id check for excessive cooling system pressure from maybe a blown head gasket

Thanks. I did a little more checking. There was a bearing that went bad, and which had the fluid comming out of the weep hole. I am going to check the head gasket just to be through. I appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

well if the new pump crapped that soon with a bad bearing then it was just defective and the motor is probably fine
