Coolant leak 2002 Sebring not from bleeder block
Hi all,
I could use some advice; I have a coolant leak that appears to be in the area of the water outlet (NOT the bleeder block assy, but the thermostat and water outlet behind the alternator/compressor).
A couple of weeks ago I replaced the thermostat and gasket along with both hoses on the outlet. It appeared that the original problem was a pinhole leak in the small hose on the outlet. All was well for a few days.
I am again leaking in what appears to be the same area.
I had inspected the plastic housing for cracks before I replaced it.
Before I tear into this area again is there anything I might be overlooking.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim

Water pump replacement advice
Thanks I found the weep hole, this is the source of the leak.
Some advice please, kind of on a budget but have been told I should replace timing components at the same time.
Do all the components need to be replaced, this appears to be very costly or is there a select list of high failure items.
This appears to be a bit of a complex repair, not out of my ability though. Is there any special gotcha's I need to worry about, or just follow the steps in the Haynes manual (which can be a bit vague at times).
Thank you in advance

Do I need to replace all the timing components
A timing kit runs $400 Plus dollars, D0 I really need to replace everthing or just the guides?
I would have never thought that just changing a water pump would almost become a major engine overhaul.
I would like to do some preventative maintance, but keep in some kind of budget if possible.
