    I have a coolant leak. It is coming from behind the a/c compressor I can't tell exactly where its coming from and can't find a engine diagram on line. Could it be the water pump the leak only occurs with the engine running and starts right after I turn the engine on I have a 2000 tundra v-8 4.7

    I would imagine water pump, when’s the last time it was changed?

    I’m gonna say there is your culprit, plus if it’s not, once you get your front end torn apart you’ll be able to see where the leak is.

    You should plan on getting the complete timing belt/water pump kit and replace the thermostat also. Use only OEM parts.
