thats the crank pulley

i think it could be your water pump, that has gone and is leaking down the crank pully and onto the sump

if not have you got mayo under your oil cap or oil in your header tank?

could be your head gasket

but i think its the water pump

The water pump is cheap, changing it is a lot of work.

You will also need a full timing kit/Belt.

Sound like waterpump to me, seems as you put water in and it come straight outa under the water pump.

If youve got no oil then it could be a number of things.

if you had someone else fit a new water pump on it, ring the idiot up and tell him to come back and do the job and finish the job how it should of been otherwise ask for some money back.

i got my water pump done, was about Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£50 to fit (already had parts)
