Cant help my luck!

Hello everyone! I just replaced my radiator today due to the crack in the plastic top drivers side. Upon refilling the coolant i saw a constant drip about center front of the jeep. When i got under with a flashlight i saw it was coming from right up against the water pump pully. I dont know what to make of that. Never saw a leak before replacing the rad. Any thoughts?

Coincidence time to change the water pump.

Thats why when I did the radiator on the 03 and then the 05 they both got new thermostats/hoses and water pumps

Yep, they usually go with each other or damn near. Mine I think I replaced the WP then a week later I noticed a drip from the radiator.

Me too exactly.. Right after the pump, although i had one of the cheapo Chinese rads so it was doomed anyway

Thanks yall! I thought it was wierd for it to happen in the same day. Replaced the wp this morning and going to pick up the stat tomorrow. Appreciate the feedback. Glad it wasnt something dumb i did as i am just a weekend warrior and not a professional wrench turner!:happy160:

By the way how do you burp the air out of the system. I put the heat on and ran it with the cap off. Should i have done something else? I dont have a 8mm hex to open the bleeder valve.

Got a 5/16" hex?

About the same.

Then buy one,you need to fill the engine through that plug since the t-stat is located on the bottom of the engine.
