1997 Geo Metro - Coolant Leak

The Metro is leaking coolant from the water pump.

Tried to figure out what the leak was but then decided to take it to a real mechanic soon.

I beg to differ. I am currently replacing the Water Pump on my 1996 Geo prizm 1.6 today. The car was bought by myself in Nov 2003 @103k miles. I did the last water pump at 189k, it now has 343k miles! So this last Autozone pump lasted a long time! Most water pumps will go 120 k miles, if hose leaks are attended to, and they are not allowed to overheat.

when it leaks there the waterpump needs to be replaced not just a the gasket....also change your timing belt while your at it since that drives the pump.. u wouldn't want to change your pump and then your belt goes and your motor is screwed. so change both of those....also a whistling or rattling noise can indicate a busted water pump. replace it all before its too late...water-pumps last up to 60k so replace every 60k along with timing belt.

if itz leakin from the waterpump than itz the gasket iz bad, broken, or worn out and you need to change it
