Possible bad water pump
I am looking at a 91' 190E 2.6 with 108K on the clock, the car is running hot and there is noticeable amount of fluid under the car after it has been running. Assuming the fluid level is ok it runs just above the 80C mark but gets hot if you are in stop and go. I can't tell if its the waterpump or not, but its leaking directly beneath the engine, does this sound like a waterpump to you guys? I can't see the area below the pump itself to tell if that is where it is coming from.

If you have a bit of DIY inside you refer back to some recent threads here about changing out the water pump. Look in the DIY section and there is a thread on changing the water pump on a M103.
Either the bearing has gone inside your waterpump and coolant is leaking out the outlet hole or the O ring between the pump and engine has failed. Either way it's quite a job to change the pump. Hit the buy parts icon at the top and start on your way. |

If it weren't for the crooked emblems on the back - I might guess that is a nissan...
