got a problem bois, i found some coolant on the ground so i looked under and saw some coolant collecting on the crank belt. i later found out that it was coming from a bolt near the alternator, i was wondering if i should try tightening the bolt or take it to a mech? here are the pictures i took, couldnt really take a far picture cause not much room.

yeah me to i am guessing the water pump is gone or starting to go, does your car temp go hotter than the usual place, look at the temp gauge.

na dude, my water temp is fine. it runs as normal, but i reckon i will end up changing the water pump. just a question the pump runs off the timing belt right and is covered by some sort of cover?
