Alright everyone!

I changed the headgasket 15000 miles ago, on my 2.0i Clubman Diesel Maestro.

In the last week, it has started to leak huge amounts of water out of the area around the cam belt. It is not any of the pipes around that area, and wondering whether there is a weak spot in the water pump etc.

Could anyone suggest where to start looking for the leak? I expect it is going to involve taking the cam belt off etc. but don't want to do so unless I have to.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Still runs like a dream though . . .poor thing, I hope I can fix her.

Water pumps on the diesel are quite costly as they make up part of the engine mount, and they are known to leak at highish miles. I manged to find my spare on e-bay a while ago.

Hi . . thanks for the reply

Are they easy to fit? Or do I have to take off the cambelt?
