    Default DI water leak- rear engine area

    I replaced my water pump om my '97 DI this weekend. I started it up and once it reach operating temperature it starting leaking water. It's leaking down the rear of the engine, in the middle to right side. My question is, is there a freeze plug that could be leaking? Or is it something with the heater? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Without finding exactly where the leak is, it would be difficult to say.
    Did you replace the water pump due to it leaking?
    The leak could come from the intake manifold gasket, heater hoses or core plugs.
    Keep us info'd as to your progress.

    Thanks Les,
    Yes, the water pump let go about 20 miles from home a couple of weeks ago, so, yes it was leaking, and I limped truck home stopping a couple of times for more water. It did get hot, but as of right now the head gasket is intact. Meaning, no water in oil, no steam or smoke out of tailpipe.
    Monday, idled for 15-20 min leaked water. Yesterday, idled to operating temp and little to no leak. Took it for short drive same little to no leak. ???
    I'll check intake & heater hoses, thx

    I have the same problem - can't figure out where it's coming from. Did you figure this out?
