• Weeping water pump All years One source so far

  What to check: Look for pink, crusty coolant on the front of the engine around the water pump, and ask when the pump was last replaced.

  Two owners in one IH8MUD thread replaced pumps that had started to weep, one at about 110,000 miles and one at about 240,000. One of them found pink, crusty coolant on the engine.
