I am working on a 89 5.0 water pump. I just put the engine in a jeep and went to fill it up with water and it started running out from somwhere around the pump. I cant figure out where its from. Its not coming out the water pump weep hole i dont think. Is there a comon place that these things leak water. My pump also had some plate on it. Is this nessasary? If i took it off would it be ok, My 66 mustang doenst have that plate. Im hoping its not comeing from the timeing cover somewhere.
