Engine leaking coolant

[ginor]

Just noticed that my engine is leaking coolant from underneath the timing cover. Need to top up near enough everytime I go out, was suspecting water pump has gone, can anybody confirm this please? It's draining from the radiator before the reservoir.

Thanks in advance

Probably the water pump or one of your water hoses/lines on the rear of the engine.

Cheers mate, I'll check the water lines before I buy a pump

best test is to run a pressure test on the engine. most garages have these, and i use one everytime i need to find a leak. Just goes onto the rad and then pressure the system to a few psi over normal operating and then just look for leaks. Great way to get in the bay and look for leaks without the engine running and getting burnt when your feeling around. The extra pressure will also make a drip into a stream for the test so makes finding it even easier.
