Fbh Coolant Leak

GOONER · 26th March 2009, 20:38

Coolant leaking from bottom of FBH, seemed to be coming from end of hose thought it may need a new clip. Put her in garage today for new front springs and asked them to check leak.They said that the plastic casing with the coolant connections has a crack , the hoses are ok. Is this repairable or is it a new FBH?

Sounds like the pump has split......there is a pipe in and one out. You can change it, but the fbh has to come out.
