Feck me... :eek:

 Over 20 views so far and no one!!! :rolleyes:

 Louis these are called \'weep\' holes, I know them as tell tales, as basically if they are seeping water/coolant then it\'s a sign your pump is on it\'s way out and should be replaced as soon as possible.
 Water is getting pass the shaft seal basically............

 Keep modding guys

Get it sorted asap, Clive got me a new pump for around £100 inc p&p.  Needs to be sorted or bye bye engine.  (Look at the TII thread in 2nd gen to see what happens when you dont get it sorted...I buy whats left, thats what happens!)
 Should be a simple job to change, prob\' around an hours work if its a straight swap and everything comes apart nicely.
