I store my 97 each winter. I think I may have a water pump leak. Is this common when storing a low mileage camaro. 30,000 miles.

Asked by Redz Apr 25, 2007 at 04:28 PM about the 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The leak seems to be on the right side near the right front tire. I really want other opinions before I spend the $700+ for a new water pump.

Hello redz-- Before you go spending the money on that water pump try to locate the source of the leak. Dry everything off as much as possible and then see where the leak reappears. Maybe you will find the moisture coming from a hose. This should be a fairly easy diagnostic procedure. Let me know how you do. Good luck from Bovan.
