Some Lexus NX200t owners report experiencing coolant leaks after a water pump replacement, which may be due to damaged gaskets that fail to create a proper seal between the engine and the water pump. These gaskets can crack, wear out, or dry up over time, leading to leaks. Additionally, some owners find that a failing water pump can also cause coolant leakage, as internal components like rubber gaskets, seals, or bearings may deteriorate. To mitigate these issues, it is crucial for owners to inspect both the gaskets and the water pump for any damage and to monitor coolant levels regularly, as addressing leaks promptly can help prevent overheating and other serious problems associated with coolant loss.
