No need to change the timing belt or water pump. These two component only fail catastrophicly. A faulty water pump will begin leaking through the bearing, which will cause coolant to drip through the 'weep hole'. You will begin to hear loud squeeling if this is the case and notice coolant coming from the timing cover. The timing belt can potentially snap after MANY years of service and its 60k mile service interval, unless there is a major engine(or water pump) disaster which breaks it. The engine is non-interference so there will be zero damage caused by a snapped timing belt. Save yourself the money and dont replace them unless one fails or you have a good reason to tear the front of the engine apart.
A failed headgasket will not always leak coolant into the oil, it will often just blow compressed air into the coolant system. This highly compressed air will force the coolant out of the radiator cap and overflow exactly as the syptoms you have described. A leak from the radiator, hoses, heater core, water pump or any component in the coolant system will NOT cause coolant to overflow through the radiator cap. |
