hey guys, so after I finally got my lift done im driving home and I start to overheat so I pull over and shut off the truck and it starts spraying antifreze from below the water pump. Now previously i had a leak from the same area and i pulled the fan a tightened up all the bolts and it went away for a few weeks and it has returned with a vengence. So is it possible that i overtorqued the bolts on an old pump and it finally just took a crap or is there some other area i should check first.
by the way its a 3-YE (2.0)

Did you check if fluid is coming out of the h20 pump peep hole. Is this original pump. Maybe h20 hose is leaking or clamp is loose. Need more info.

Ever had a pet die from that stuff?
Hope you got it all cleaned up, it's not a pretty sight to watch it happen.

after the slow leaking and toping off with water it was 95% water.

Might try pulling the bolts out one at a time and coating them in RTV. They intrude into the water jacket and have a propensity for leaking if they have been tightened. Could be the gasket too. If it's puking from a drain hole right under the pully your water pump may be kaput. I recently bought a refurb for 40 bucks while doing the T-belt. Figured good time to replace my 217K unit while the belts were all off.
