So I am losing coolant and have some sort of coolant leak from the front of my car. Early today when I started my car and popped the hood, coolant was being sprayed all around the engine bay. My guess it was hitting the belts and being shot around. Could the water pump be failing? It was replaced two years ago and it's from NAPA. Could it have failed already?

 

Pinhole in radiator hose ? Water pump gasket ? pinhole in heater hoses ?

 

Would a pinhole in the lower radiator hose cause coolant to spray everywhere? Same with the heater hoses? It only sprays some of the time and when it does it looks like it's spraying from every direction.

 

Is it sprayed up upon the hood above the accessory drive belt? If so my speculation would be the water pump has failed and it’s coming from the weep hole. Look in the area of that you might stumble on the source that way.

 

When I last watched it spray, it looked like it was mostly lower in the belt and it was barely reaching the top of the radiator. Also when I first shut the car off a ton of coolant dripped but I couldn't pinpoint exactly where it was dripping from.

I was planning on flushing the coolant anyway, I already brought everything to do it. When I'm going to buy a lower radiator hose and replace it. If the problem isn't fixed I guess it means it's the waterpump.

 

The heater diverter valves fail often. Had one go on me on the freeway. Pop goes all the coolant.
