4 cylinder engines may develop a coolant leak from the water pump area. It is not uncommon for the sealant used on the water pump to degrade over time, newer models have an upgraded rubber gasket. Our technicians tell us that the o-ring where the water pump housing mounts to the engine block may also leak which can appear to be a leaking water pump.
