    Q:
    What are the signs of a failure in the Water Pump on Mercury Mountaineer? Posted by Riksa D.
    A:
    Water pump failure can cause engine damage due to overheating. If the pump seal fails, coolant leaks from the front cover in V6 models or the water pump housing in V8 models. The water pump is located in the front cover for V6 engines and in a housing in the engine block for V8 engines. Water pumps have weep holes that can be checked for leaks with a flashlight. If there's heavy brown staining or visible coolant, the pump needs replacing. If the pump shaft bearings fail, a howling sound may be heard. Shaft wear can be felt by rocking the water pump pulley. Don't confuse drivebelt slippage, which causes a squealing sound, with pump bearing failure. A quick pump check is to turn on the heater; if the pump is failing, it won't circulate hot water efficiently.
