I started doing the timing on my Series 3 today prior to fitting new dizzy. As soon as I started rotating the engine by hand to set the timing mark, coolant started leaking quite substantially, but more or less stopped when I stopped turning. As always, quite hard to identify exactly where it's leaking from, but seems to be coming out round or from the bearing between the fan and the water pump - see photo, which is looking up vertically from under the vehicle, with the front of the veh at the bottom of the photo. Presume the water pump has failed? Could this be related to an overheating incident a few weeks ago (I've had trouble with timing/mixture which I think caused the impressive steam at the top of a steep bit of the Cotswolds...) Any advice gratefully received, thanks.
