How bad is it leaking? Goes through the whole resviour (spelling) in like almost a week, this is under normal driving. So i need to top it up to the max every weekend. But its not squirting or anything, just dripping.

And i'm just afraid that the coolant will wet the belts while i'm driving, a i don't really wanna know wat will happen next.

So yea i think in perth the genuine nissan pump is like $180, and i can get aftermarket ones for like $80 from super cheap or coventry. But i heard that the aftermarket pump does not exactly fit correctly like there are extra 2 holes or 2 holes missing somethin like that. Correct me on this anyone?

So yea might get the pump replace asap before anything worst happens.

By the way wat coolant do people use? Just had this thought that the coolant might cause the leak?

Thanx alot guys. :)

usually when the water pump bearings go they start to leak from the bottom of the pumps pulling unit! cant comment on the vl turbo pumps, but even if there are extra holes the sealant you put around to make a gasket will seal those anyway!

oh and the N1 pump runs lower pressure than standard, it designed to be revved alot so normal driving will have lower water pressure!
