from memory its the water pump mate, but this is a chalenge to fix it with the biggest bodge

EDGE

well.. depending on where the pump is leaking from... and what its made of.. welding the cracks often works, or even chucking a few egg whites down it...

failing that, if you can see a crack in it.. qwiksteel rules...

Normally with modern pumps the act of removing the pump normally destroys the pump.
