Bad water pump or just crack in the housing?

[Blinc]

Spyder has been leaking coolant this week and I thought it was the overflow tank again that may have cracked, but this time its coming from what I think is the water pump housing. Once the Spyder heats up, there is a steady jet of water shooting from the buttom of that housing, from what appears to be the size of a pinhole. Anyone have this issue before?
Assuming its the water pump, I am guessing its not going to be an easy fix and will probably cost some ducks at the dealership?

Not water pump, It's a connector between radiator hoses and engine, About a $10.00 part simple change just clamps on hoses...freebob..:doorag:

Hmm,
The hoses plug into this thing, and water shoots out as if under pressure, so are we sure it's just a simple connector?
If so, I will order that part, but need to be sure.

Looks to be more than a connector to me .:dontknow:

The whole coolant system is under pressure when engine is running, take it to your dealer if you have any doubts and is still under warranty.....

This part is called the connector. It is listed in the parts fiche, available from the SpyderLovers home page. Before you order, be sure the leak just isn't one of the hoses or clamps, front or rear, and leaking down the housing to where you are seeing it. There are five hoses with seven clamps attached near this connector. You could easily have a bad Oetiker clamp or a split hose behind the connector, that sprays on it an looks like it it leaking from there.

OK, cool, I appreaciate it guys!
For sure the connector then, I can see the jet stream shooting out of it.
Glad it's not the pump..shew :clap:
