AJ, until it's fixed, until you have it apart, you will not know for certain. I am not above or beyond
wasting time, but I still believe, it's the waterpump. The AC still works correct? The heat works,
correct? I think it would have siezed and stopped working by now (the AC) but it hasnt.
Couple years ago I took my son's ZJ apart thinking a hose was bad because water suddenly flooded
the engine compartment steaming everything. When we were putting it back together, the belts
would not line up. The water pump belt was out of line. So I looked further and decided to take
the pump off. There was no leak, no seep, the pulley did not line up.When I took it apart, the
impellor had eaten 2/3 of the way through the housing.
Looked as though it were made that way until I pushed the impellor back out.
I wish i had a picture of it, but i was amazed.
After we did replace everything, leak was not from the radiator hose, it was the cleanout insert
someone installed to back flush the radiator.
