So we just replaced the water pump on a 95 3.4 V6 Automatic. Couple weeks later it over heated, and now there is a leak coming from behind the block where the water pump is mounted, not from the water pump itself, it is from between the engine and a cover where the water pump is mounted on. Any idea as to how difficult it would be to repair? It looks like a gasket in there....

Edit: After doing some research, I believe the location of the leak is between " the font cover to engine" So the gasket is between the front block and the front cover.

Tips and pointers on the job before I take it apart are appreciated.

Thanks!

 

That would be the front cover, you may try to tighten the retaining bolts, but if that does not work the cover will have to be removed and the gasket and front oil seal will need to be replacement. Hopefully you did not crack it by making the pump bolts too tight.
