GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

well, i just crawled out from under my vibe to see what was leaking. i thought it might be the tranny since i just recently had the oil changed at the Pontiac dealer. i thought maybe they loosened the wrong bolt. to my suprise i found a drop coming out of the water pump below the pulley. the car is a 2003 gt with 15k miles on it. just woundering if anyone else has had this problem?

Wow! 03 gt with only 15k? ive got an 03 gt with about 45k already, anyway, ive never had any problem with my water pump, sorry i cant give any more info, good luck

Better check it closely. Maybe they had the radiator cap off and made a mess. I have never seen a water pump failure on a Vibe come through our service dept yetOh 53k on my 04

yeah, i'm kind of lucky. i get to drive my work truck home and not use my car to drive back and forth. i checked around the engine compartment and didn't see any fluid orther than the drips form the water pump.

If you are still under warranty (<3 years) take it back to the dealer.

most definitely,i think the warranty runs out in june.have to make the best use of that warranty.

I have a 07 Vibe with about 20,000 km. I had a strong smell of antifreeze. Took it to one dealership , then went to a different dealership. They pressure tested the system, put dye in it and I drove it around for a couple thousand more km.. The water pump was leaking and had to be replace. The first dealership had a closed mind. NOTHING goes wrong with a vibe. Guess what. The water pump needed replacing.

Lucky you... this might be an opportunity to find and install an electric water pump and save a few HP.

This may help...I had the same problem.http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...85769
