Hi,i have a question regarding water pump.?

i am driving a Renault Megane Cabriolet 2001,1.6,16V.Last week,i noticed a small patch of coolant leak on the floor.my mechanic says it could be a leak at the water pump.however,i had changed the water pump at 60000km servicing and my mileage now is only 30000km more.i had thought that water pumps should last more than 60000km,don't they?i noticed that the coolant leaked on the right side of the car whereas my coolant reservoir(overflow) is on the left side of the car.does this also points to a water pump leak?also,i noticed that there were no more coolant leaking on the floor since then but the level of coolant in the reservoir is slowing dropping.is there a way to tell for sure if it is indeed the water pump that is leaking as i have been trying to locate it but could not.should i look under the hood or under the car and how does it looks like?please help.thanks!Hi,i have a question regarding water pump.?it isn't your heater core, that will leak inside of the car, it is more then likely the water pump, find someone that has a pressure tester and they can pump the system up and then you will see right where it is coming from. Sometimes (depending on where you got the water pump from) they can fail prematurely and that really sucks, so it isn't always good to get the cheapest parts because you may pay for it down the road.Hi,i have a question regarding water pump.?your heater is leakingHi,i have a question regarding water pump.?Is the leak outside your car? Look at the ground and then look directly up to the car, you should be able to trace the leak back to where it is coming from.Hi,i have a question regarding water pump.?yea...I would definetly look under the hood and under the car....good idea....Hi,i have a question regarding water pump.?If you have water on the right side of the floor, the heater core is leaking. If you have coolant under the hood, place a piece of cardboard under the car and check it later to see if it's wet.

Master Tech 40 yrs.Hi,i have a question regarding water pump.?I'm not familiar with Renault, I'm in Canada and these are a rarity. I'm guessing this is a transversally mounted engine. I'm also guessing that the front of the engine is on the right hand side of the vehicle. The only advice I can give you on this is look at where the puddle is, and then trace the location directly up, and look for the coolant trail, and follow it back to where it originates. Sometimes a coolant leak can be hard for a technician to diagnose. I've been stumped a few times. Also, the heater core should be in the middle of the vehicle under neith the dashboard [on the inside of the passenger compartment]. I do know Renault has had some strange designes in the past, and I'm not familiar with this make of vehicle though, so I may be wrong on the heater core. Take a look yourself, and if you can't figure it out, take it [back] to your technician and have a pressure test preformed. This should be able to narrow this down. I hope this helps and if you have any more questions, I'm willing to help
