Gonna need more details before we can be of any help mate.

 

Oil or water leak? Where exactly is it coming from (a pic would help a lot), how long did you run it after it started leaking (if at all)?

Ah ok, I didn't see the sub-title - it doesn't show up in the 'posts since last visit' page.

 

Are you sure that it's leaking from the engine itself and not from a pipe somewhere?

 

I'm no expert, but if it's coming from the side of the engine then it sounds terminal. If it's coming from a burst pipe then it's an easy fix.

hi

 

is it the water pump?

Almost certainly the water pump, I developed a leak where the belt is last week. The pump was leaking and water was running down the side of the block and dripping out below the belt. I replaced it and it seems ok now. £25 from GSF
