Antifreeze leak

[Stevend]

I have an older l245DT that started leaking antifreeze from behind the fan pull on the water pump. Has anyone dealt with an issue like this?
Tried searching but couldn't find any info.
Thanks

Sorry, was trying to say pulley, not pull!

The bearing seal is shot....
water leaking out of the weep hole

just happened in my boat......the good news is that I had an endless supply of water to keep my engine cool! You loose coolant and then....really bad things happen !!!

No away around fixing this - might be $$$$$$$ as hell from Kubota, but I would not replace with an off brand.......nor a rebuilt one, I find in things like that - get the real deal is better than doing it again a couple of years later.

Yep dead water pump!
Buy a new Kubota pump as the reman's are a complete crap shoot, I pulled a bone head and used one (should have known better) and it cost me a gear case replacement, not cheap and not easy!

Thanks for the info! Saw what I thought should be the weephole but no fluid coming out. There is a groove in the upper middle of the pump just below the pulley where my fluid leaks out.
THanks again for the replys.is there a Kubota parts place you guys use for price advantage, delivery, ect?

I am surprised at the cost of either of those pumps that NIW pulled up....
I thought they would be twice or three times that !!!!

I would jump on and "get 'er done" ..........bad things and $$$$ things happen to overheated diesels......
