2000 Discovery II water pump is leaking water as fast as I can put it in through a hole in passenger side of pump. Nice round hole, is this a freeze plug of some kind that can be replaced? Or is the water pump shot? 88 mile trip and it let loose when I got home, any thoughts on reasons for the failure?2000 Discovery II water pump is leaking water as fast as I can put it in through a hole in passenger side of pump.

Mmmmmmmm they are really hard to replace but most likelly is goin to be a intake gasket, i do recomend you to call arrown the auto repairs and ask for a pressure test to the cooling system
this test is not that expensive and will tell you exactly where is the leak coming from, but on this type of vehicles i badly see a freeze plug leaking.

02 sensor is your oxygen sensor, 98 chevy astro carries 3 oxygen sensor. i belived your bad sensor is on the passenger side by the exhaust manifold but if not try the drivers side all the oxygen sensor for this van are the same. you need to go under the van to replace it, if is to hard to get it out turn your van for five minutes then turn it off and try again, be carefull not to burn your self. the one close to the catalytic converter is the downstream oxygen sensor ok, good luck!!!!!!
or maybe the bolts themselves require sealant under the head of each one..some do..did you follow the parts store readout for changing the pump.. if not go get one and review it.. there may be something we both have overlooked..
I'd have to see it in person to comment. The water pump is on the passenger side of the van. A mechanic would fill the cooling system then pressure test it for leaks.
the 4.3 engine has a problem with leaking intake manifold gaskets. check for leakage behind the water pump. did you change the thermostat? This controls the engine temp. check for rusty radiator cap and replace if worn
There are 2 hoses that go thru the firewall on the passenger side. One carries hot water from the engine water jacket, to heat the core, and the other brings the water back to the radiator. Follow the hoses to see which one goes to the radiator and the other will be the heater intake. Another way to tell, with the heat on, the hotter of the 2 will be the intake.
well it can only come from the radiator hoses or the water pump...
to check if your water pump is still good just take a flashlight and spot on top of the pump. there should be a little hole on top behind the pulley. if it is damp you have to replace the pump.
