So after completing my coolant hose replacement work I still have a small leak, looks like it might be the auxiliary pump. Do those fail and leak out of the body? What a pain in the *** to get to. I hate to remove all the hoses and what not only to find out that is not it.

 

Ive never read another post where anyone complained of a pump leaking. So you’ll probably have to look

 

Yes, it is possible for them to leak through the body. (There is an o ring between both pieces) and yes a PITA to swap out as well.

Don't leave it like that. Swap it out!

 

I have had to replace several electric pumps. I even had on fail and take out the A'C clutch/pump motor fuse.

The A/C clutch was inop and the fuse was blown. I changed the fuse and the fuse 'blew' again.
I unplugged the pump motor and the A/C worked normally.

Ended up replacing the pump moor.
