Son's 300e overheats.

Replaced fan clutch which is shot...replaced belt. Did motor mounts, too..but that's another story.

put it all back together...running smoothly.

Take it for a run....

Come back ....massive leak under the water pump area... it got dark and the water was hot so we stopped working.

Shut car off... just drips from that area.

Will check tomorrow...

oh....also aux water pump was making noise... it probably blew a bearing or something during the initial overheat.... any way to check it?


i know about a weep hole...but this was like a blowout...almost like a hose is disconnected....

a/c didn't work either...but that's probably because water is dripping on the belt and making it slip.

I guess the big question is.... is there a freeze plug down there that could have blown out.

I would normally be able to answer these questions, but it got too dark, too fast.

thanks.
