Default Re: leaking oil from Crankshaft on front of motor!!! please help fix!

I'm a little effing mad right now. Maybe I should have checked after Morris said something. I got truck all back together with new seal and all. Crank up the truck and I hear sqeaking. I HATE sqeaking. I look over top of motor, underneath, etc...

Mom's bf looks at it with me and he says it sounds like a bearing. We climb underneath and as we're looking/listening, a drop of something hits him in the face. We look a little closer and it is goldis colored liquid dipping from above harmonic balancer from--------THE WATERPUMP!!! So that's what the sqeaking is. I guess the bearings are going out. I have also noticed I can't keep coolant in the resivoir, I always have to refill! And Dustin (ranger_1999) noticed my resevior the other day.

So now I'm going to buy a waterpump tomorrow and install, oh joy more mechanic work. I'm becoming the regular mechanic lately. I bet I replaced that seal when it didn't need it, oh well, It has a new one now. Waterpump "shouldn't" be too bad.
