Trying to track down a leak that's been found on friend's XJ after an overheat.
Water is running down the hose from the water pump, took off the hose and there was an accumulation of dirt & corrosion on the lip of the pump, thought maybe we got lucky and it was just the dirty mounting surface, but no luck - cleaned all areas and replaced and it still leaks.
Looks like its coming from above the hose but I can't see any obvious spots. Just grabbed the FSM and am about to go back to get real on it. If anyone has any bright suggestions please chime in. Right now I'm assuming water pump/gasket...
Thanks for the help, first time fooling with the XJ coolant system.
EDIT: sport 4.0 5-speed just to clarify
