Access to observing water pump weep hole
Hi All, My question is simply this. Without taking anything apart..... Can access to observing the condition of the water pump weep hole on a 5.0 naturally aspirated engine be accomplished from the top of the engine or best from the bottom. I'm planning on going down to my Independent shop to look at my water pump before taking it to Jaguar next week. I'm sure he'll be using mirrors to look at it. Thanks all.

Probably not Jhammer. You have an 08 which should be a different pump setup anyway. There were two part numbers of replaced parts. The pump, AJ813909 and AJ811539 (seal)... That's it.

There’s 2 more parts that needed to be replaced, the oil cooler tube that fits on the back of the pump and the little plastic tube that fits on the front of the pump. Very common for these parts to have slow leaks and the oil cooler tube is buried so you can’t see it leak. When I had a new pump fitted last year the cooler tube was replaced but apparently the dealer didn’t do it correctly and it leaked and had to be redone a few months later.

Thanks....I'm sure they WERE NOT replaced. I'll mention it when I bring the car in to make sure they are looked at when the system is pressurized. The only advantage I might have is that the car only has 13,000 miles on it.........if that helps or not.
