Water pump?

[blackedoutlimited]

Not really a mechanic but can anyone confirm my belief that I have a leaking water pump from this picture? Also, are there any TSBs out there for these to be replaced? 2016 Expedition

Sure looks like it is leaking.

Mine was replaced at 75,*** miles. It only leaked when the engine was running, and the leak was small (about a one-inch drop in coolant in the reservoir over one week).

‘I’m not aware of any TSB - but there was an updated pump and pulley kit according to the service advisor at the dealership when I had it replaced.

Yeah it’s only been leaking 2 mornings now after startup for about 3 minutes. Enough to make a small puddle each time. I’m thinking it’s the seal bc after the truck warms up, leak stops completely. Thank you for the reply!

The water pump has a weep hole.
When your water pump seal starts to go bad it lets coolant out the weep hole as a warning.

Oh wow, I didn’t know that, thank you so much. Trying to see if it’s covered under warranty now

Update, also found driver side turbo coolant line leaking this morning after sitting all night and a cold start…

Additional update. Fords aftermarket warranty solutions will not cover any tube assembly, fitting, connector, etc , metal or plastic unless associated with AC or power steering. So $1022 later I’ll be getting a new water pump (covered, $100 deductible) new Ford lime green coolant flush (orange has been found to wear away components prematurely), and several new coolant hoses on the driver side turbo. $720 for labor… stealership at it again…

How many miles?

How many miles?

Just over 80k. Section 6 of my warranty solutions paperwork basically spells out all the hoses, connections, lines etc that aren’t covered. Huge eye roll

hmmm, sounds like the 5.4 is still better.
